93 trans am hatch motor issues

I assume you checked the Hatch fuse right? It's just as likely the limit switch in the hatch pull-down unit is not working as the motor. You would need to use a multimeter to determine that.

Dumb me, the 93 has no hatch pull-down.

Should my 94 trans am have the pull down unit ? Just wondered as it has the remote release [by key fob] but it doesn't pull itself down I have to slam it.

Fuse is good Are those motors even available anymore?

****My mistake. I didn't look at the year of the OP's car carefully.****

The 4th gen cars do not have the hatch pull-down unit. You can adjust the force required to close the hatch by using the procedure in the 94 service manual on page 10-8-15. In that procedure, you adjust the latch mounting position and the hatch corner stop buttons.

i wwasn't aware that was available on 4th gens? i thought that was a late 3rd gen thing (and a stupid one at that, glad my 83 and 95 don't have it)

Thanks, I didn't notice the o\p had a 93, threw me as its posted here.
