Default Rear hatch

2009 C6 Manuel trans, arctic white.

Just noticed today that the rear hatch isn’t closing normally.

When pushing the hatch down, a motor would start and close the hatch, now I have to push down hard to get it to latch.
Not a big problem, but something isn’t right, anyone checked out the little motor that latches the hatch.

Read through this thread and see if any of it helps. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...n-problem.html

If the hatch unlocks with the buttons or fob, there’s power to the latch, but you should check the rear electrical connector to make sure it’s fully engaged and also the 2 big blue connectors on the BCM just in case one is a bit loose.
