How do you troubleshoot and repair the powered rear hatch pulldown assembly on a 1988 Camaro?

Answer 1

First you need to check for power (12 vdc) at the contact connector with a volt meter. If you don't have power, you need to trace back till you find where the 12vdc stops and fix the supply problem. If you do have 12 volts, make sure the contacts are in good shape and making proper contact when the hatch closes. If it still does not work, some camaro parts sites have GM replacement parts to rebuild the electric motor. Hope some of this info helps.
