Hey guys I just finished converting my truck from tbi to a carb. The truck runs awesome, however I am having some minor electronic problems at the moment. First, the rear hatch will not open. If the ignition is off, and I press the button on the dash, the abs light comes on for whatever reason but I can hear the mechanism trying to engage but it doesn't let go to release the hatch. If the ignition is on it seems like it's not getting as Much juice and it still won't open but no abs light. This is really making me scratch my head.
Second, the wiper blades don't work at all. I have checked all
Fuses. The rear wiper blade works.
Lastly, the blower motor is not working. I have also checked the fuses.
All of these things worked before the swap and I did cut some wires when I did the swap except for the ones still
Being used. (Cts, alt, oil pressure, ac, etc)
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I can start trying to figure this mess out! Thank you in advance
The truck is 1995
Gmc yukon 2 door 4x4 383

The hatch only releases when the truck is in park, did you put in that 5 speed at the same time??

The 5 speed was already in it and I already had the hatch working before I did the carb swap. Anybody have any suggestions on how to test these issues? I have basically no experience with wiring and switches. Is there a way to manually open the hatch?

unfortunately the key has never worked in the door for the tailgate since I have owned the truck. I never got around to fixing it due to the hatch always working properly. Hopefully I figure this out soon
