The power trunk pull down was working fine but abruptly quit the other day. The fuse was blown, so I replaced it and it blew again. I think I had tapped the black lever that contacts the motor switch. I wonder why the motor is pulling so much current? Or could it be a short somewhere? On the surface everything looks clean as a whistle.
Try and see how many amps the motor is pulling to isolate the problem.
Is the switch on that a black plastic cube about an inch and a half square with a plastic lever on the top? If so those have a lot of contacts jammed in them and over time moisture and wear makes a mess of things so you could have wires crossed in there that normally would not be.
Yes, that's the type of switch. It's a part that was common to Cadillacs, Buick Park Avenues, and apparently some Camaros and Firebirds. I'll take a closer look at it, thanks!
