91 camaro hatch pulldown wiring diagram

[cocobolo95]

Does anyone out there have a hatch pulldown wiring diagram for a 91
camaro. I assume firebird uses the same. Thanks

Oh man i went down that road years ago in my 91 RS! I take it the exisiting wires are no longer there? When i had to replace mine...i had to buy a new motor & assembly because at the junkyards...thats the first to go. The kit i got cost roughly 280.00? and came with a exploded view blueprint. It was easy to install but a PITA to find! BTW it took me about a year to finally get off my ass and fix the problem...so if you dont use the trunk very much....do like i did ratcheting tie downs! If its a simple question maybe i can answer it for you from memory. I do know this...its was VERY VERY easy to fix.

I'll try to describe the relay hookup in good detail then. I'll assume you pulled the relay and wires from a donor car together with the trunk release switch.

Relay wires:
ORANGE - power for the relay and trunk release.
Feel free to connect to the pink wire on either power window switch. That way, you will have power for the remote trunk popper only with the ignition on (you don't want a thief reaching in and popping the trunk when you are away from your vehicle (http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/convertibles/333739-added-trunk-pop-my.html#)).

YELLOW - switched power to the trunk release solenoid.
Run a wire to the trunk and connect it to the solenoid.

BROWN - negative trigger for the relay.
Connect to one side of the switch. Connect other side of the switch to the brown/white wire on the tonneau release switch (it's the ground from the parking brake or PRNDL shift selector).


Now, for the alarm hookup. You will need an extra relay. Feel free to use again, the same donor relay with the same wires if you can find it.
Let's assume that your alarm has a negative output signal for the accessory button.

ORANGE - power to the relay.
Connect to the orange wire on your tonneau release relay.

YELLOW - switched power to the trunk release solenoid.
Connect to the wire you already ran to the trunk.

BROWN - negative trigger for the relay.
Connect to the output wire from your alarm. You can run the wire from under the dash through the center console around the shifter or you can hide it in the loom under the carpet by the driver door and under the seat (that's what I did while I had my carpet out).


I hope it's not too confusing. It's realy simple, it's just too many words for one post and looks complicated. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/convertibles/images/smilies/smile.gif

This is what my buddy sent me via e-mail...hope it helps!

So did that diagram work for you?

yes it let me install the 91-92 style pulldown on my 90 which came with the older style pull down.
