How do you know if your 93 eldorado trunk pull down motor or trunk switch is bad?

Not being familiar with your 93 Eldorado, this answer will be generic in nature, and it applies to all troubleshooting of switch versus device being bad. Usually, there will be an unpluggable connector very close to the device [in your case the trunk "pull-down" motor]. Hopefully it will have only two wires [and terminals inside the connector]. Disconnect the connector and set Volt-Ohmmeter [VOM] to 12 Volts. Insert the test probes, one into each hole in the connector, and hold firmly in contact with the metal contact in each hole. When using a VOM, or any electrical test equipment, it is critical that good, solid contact is made between the test lead probes and the contact or wire under test. Otherwise, the test may not be valid, and you will reach the wrong conclusion regarding the condition being tested. Have an assistant activate the switch, and watch the meter to see if it goes to 12 Volts. If it does, then that implies that the switch is good. IF it doesn't, it suggests that the switch is bad, but don't quit yet. Reset the VOM selector switch to the Ohms scale [probably the "1x," or "10x" scale setting] and insert the test probes solidly into the holes of the connector on the motor leads. If the meter needle moves significantly, then that suggests that the motor does not have a broken wire inside which creates an "open" circuit condition. In electrical terms, the circuit is said to have "continuity," which means electricity flows through the whole section being tested. An open circuit condition suggests that the motor has become defective and will have to be replaced or rebuilt. Properly done, your tests should indicate that one is good, and one is bad, but could show both good or bad.

98 eldorado will latch but will not pull down?

I had the same problem on my 98 eldo for a while. The electrical connection on yours(as was mine) is lose. I found the connector was not making good contact so I simply wrapped the unpluged portion of the connector with electrical tape to make it a tight fit. You can test your motor by take wire leads from the connector to the actual motor but be very careful you dont test it for too long or your latch piston will pop off.
