Closing Cycle - CADILLAC

When lid is lowered, lock hook engages with striker about 1 to 1 1/2" from fully closed. This energizes motor power and ground circuits, motor then pulls lid fully closed. When fully closed, motor is de-energized as plunger reaches its fullest downward travel allowing actuator switch contacts to open. Ground circuit is maintained through lock to plunger contact until opening cycle begins.

NOTE: Body contact surface of lock frame must be clean and paint free to insure proper ground.
