trunk pull down motor questions
My trunk pull down does not work because I believe I am missing a part. The motor is there and works fine and the wiring harness is there an the wiring functions as it should. The problem is the motor only has a hook up for two wires. The harness has four wires as it should. I think I am missing a part that goes between the four harness wires and the motor itself. Some kind of actuator or switch of some kind?? Maybe someone can show me a picture of how there pull down hooks up. Something is missing on mine and I do not know what the part is. Thanks in advance.

RE: trunk pull down motor questions
I'll have to take a picture of what I have. My schematics show the four wires. My book is out in the car and I can not remember what is which. I know red was hot, then there was black/white, green, and solid black is ground. The red is of course power but the other wires control the direction the current flows through some sort of switch/relay/actuator?? I can hook up the red and black wires to the motor and get it to move and by switching the connections around it will go the opposite direction. I have a factory service manual and I am certain the four wires are correct but some sort of part is missing that controls the direction of the power flow. I hope I am making sense. My car is a 1993 if that makes any difference. I am under the impression that these motors have not changed since the early 80's. I am kind of thinking that the part I am missing sits right on top of the motor and then the four wire connector plugs in to that??

RE: trunk pull down motor questions
Okay, I went out and got my manual from the car. Here are the four wires. Red/White= power lead (hot at all times) Black is ground and is fed to the motor from the trunk lid switch. Black/yellow is also ground fed from the trunk lid switch. Dark green is the lead to the "trunk ajar" light. I think I am missing "striker switches" ??
I am getting my info from page 8A-135-0 of the 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood service manual.
I am hoping someone can show me a picture of their pull down assembly with the four wires so I can see the part I am missing.
Thanks again
