Abstract
An improved control for a motorized deck lid pulldown mechanism in which the pulldown sequence is selectively reversible to return the deck lid to its fully opened position if the operator of the vehicle elects to abort the pulldown sequence. Initial actuation of a momentary contact switch by the operator of the vehicle initiates the pulldown sequence, and a second actuation of the switch during the panel closing portion of the pulldown sequence independently reverses the motor to abort the pulldown and return the panel to its fully open position.
