rear hatch operation 1990

[aafc]

I have been working part time at South Georgia Corvette an came across a
trouble with a early 1990 where the rear hatch won't open unless you set the parking brake ( car not running or running). open door and hit the switch (door or switch in consol) hatch won't open set parking brake and hatch opens.
My 1990 ZR-1 # 2546, hatch will open without setting parking brake.
So if have trouble opening your rear hatch, set parking brake. This only happened on this early 1990 ZR-1.

Mine's #545 and I've been up there a couple of times, even met you up there on at least 2 occasions. I have no problem with my rear hatch opening anytime I hit the button. I can't think of how these would be related but thanks for the tip if it ever happens, I'll try it. See you next time.

Update on rear hatch opening

I checked the 1990 ZR-1 Black/Black and its number is 0047 with steel half
shafts. So to open hatch on this car set parking brake, press door or console
buttons will open rear hatch.
