CIRCUIT OPERATION
Voltage is applied at all times through the
CTSY Fuse to the Release Switch. With the
Parking Brake applied, or with, the Ignition
Switch in
OFF, depressing the Release Switch
will cause current to flow through the Release
Relay coil. The relay operates and voltage is
applied to the Release Solenoid. The Solenoid
operates and the Hatch opens.

TROUBLESHOOTING H lNTS
Try the following checks before doing the
System Check.
1. Check that connector on Hatch Pull-Down
Unit is firmly seated.
2. Check Hatch Fuse by visual inspection.
* Go to System Check for a guide to normal
operation.
, * Go to System Diagnosis for diagnostic tests.

If voltages are correct but Hatch Pull-
Down Unit does not operate, replace Pull-
Down
Unit. (See Body Section 7 for dis-
assembly procedures).
1. Check REDIWHT (138) wire and Hatch
Fuse for an open.
Closing When the Hatch is lowered, the lock hook
latches the Striker, moving the Pull-Down Unit
Latch contacts to the LATCHED position. Voltage
is then applied to the motor in the reverse
disec-
tion. The motor moves the Striker down, pulling
the Hatch closed. Once the Natch is closed, the
Pull-Down Unit Striker contacts move to the
STRIKER FULLY PULLED DOWN position re-
moving the ground from the motor.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Opening
When the Hatch is closed, the Latch contacts
and Striker contacts are
in the position shown
on the schematic. Voltage is applied at
all times
to the Hatch Pull-Down Unit through the
Hatch Fuse and the REDIWHT (138) wire.
When the Hatch is opened, the Latch contacts
are moved from the LATCHED to the
UNLATCHED position. The motor in the
Hatch Pull-Down Unit is then grounded
through the UNLATCHED path of the Latch
contacts.
The motor drives the Striker upward to pre-
pare for closing. When the Striker reaches the
fully extended position, the Striker contacts
move to the STRIKER FULLY EXTENDED
position removing battery voltage from the
motor.

1. Redace Outside Mirror Switch.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Each Outside Mirror has two reversible
Motors: one to adjust the mirror view up and
down, the other to adjust the mirror view
Right and Left. The driver operates four
Switches that control the polarity of the volt-
age to the Motors. The Mirror Select Switch
directs these control voltages to either the RH
or LH Outside Mirror. With the
Switches in the positions shown in
the schematic, the LH Outside Mirror is
moved. When the Mirror Position Switch is
moved to the UP position, battery voltage
from the ORN wire is applied to the
YEL or
YEL/BLK wire and the Up-Down Motor in
each Outside Mirror. The LN Outside Mirror
Up-Down Motor, has a path to ground through
the LT GRN wire, the Up contacts of the Mir-
ror Position Switch, and the BLK wire. The
LH Up-Down Motor runs and turns the mir-
ror up.
If the Mirror Switch Position is pushed to
the DOWN position, the same Motor receives
voltage. Now the polarity is reversed, with the
YEL or
YEL/BLK wires grounded. The
Motor runs in the opposite direction.
The RH Left-Right Motor operates in a
similar manner when the Mirror Position
Switch is moved to the LEFT position. The
WHT wire gets battery voltage and the LT
BLU wire is grounded through the Mirror
Position Switch. If the Mirror Position Switch
is pushed to the RIGHT position, the polarity
is reversed and the motor will run in the op-
posite direction. The RH Outside Mirror works in the same
way as the LH Outside Mirror when the Mir-
ror Select Switch is moved to the R position
and the Mirror Position Switch is operated.

1. Check TURN BIU Fuse and the Gear Selec-
tor Switch (Automatic Transmission) or

checking operation of the Back Up Lights.
2. Check GAGES Fuse by observing the
BRAKE Indicator with the Park Brake
