Fuse No. 26 supplies power to a circuit in the hatch release motor that
goes thru a sort of commutator with a segment cut out. When the motor
get to the cut out portion, it cuts off the power from Fuse 26, and the
motor stops. After twelve years of usage, you probably have a lot of
copper smeared over onto the cut out portion, and the motor continues to
run. You can remove and dissassemble the motor, and clean the cut out
portion. Don't use any super oils on the motor - if it coasts long
enough to get over the cut out, it will continue to run!
