Hi,
I have two of these hatch lifters 12V serving my engine hatch. Everytime I open (or for that matter close) the hatch it is always a little complicated.... Hitting the up or down key does not do the job in one go. I push the key and the lifters will work for 2-5 seconds and then stop - same scenario both ways. Sometime also at very slow speed..... One thing I have noticed is that the lifters ALWAYS start again once I hit the key after they have stopped. Can someone give me an idea what to look for ? As this is a twin installation of lifters I think it cannot be the motors in the lifters as it will not be obvious that both motors break or start to behave strangely at the same time. My hatch is not that heavy (not light though) but I should think that one lifter could move the hatch on it own - maybe slowly but still steady. I think two lifters only serve for safety. Let me please know if someone has a good idea how to start trouble shooting.
See lifters in attachment. Thanks guys.
