Default Rear hatch will not stay open/up

Over the winter I did some diagnostics on the car checking for codes
jumping the A B ports and grounding the K port.

For some reason or another now my rear hatch will not stay up when I open it. Is there some underlying electircal problem, a mechanical lock out of place or are the struts shot? It worked fine last year.

1990 A4 coupe

Appreciate comments

New struts from Autozone worked great and good price.
