Electrical Issues: Hatch Lift - Battletech Pod - Tail Gate Lift Motor

I would bet my left nut there are limit switches in it. Much like there are self parking switches in wiper motors. I would NOT hold any sway on colour of wires. Colour means nothing in the world of factory automotive wiring...
Le Chuck:
Wiring woes aside this is a great re-purposing project, just make sure you have a wag bag and an MRE in the pod incase you have to wait for rescue.  You don't live alone do you?

We're gonna miss Kahlid  ;D

Cragslist - Used Battletech Pod arcade videogame

comes with realistic skeleton sealed inside.

 $500 OBO

So the hatch door would be all wood, and since the inside of the POD is ~3 feet, I can ball up and then kick out pretty damn hard so if I ever got into a bind I would just kick the door down.  It's also too wide to move out of the door, so it would come standard with the purchase of the house including skeleton.

Okay, so joking aside here's where we get to the nitty gritty.  Two harness's:
MOTOR:
The motor has NO intelligence.  It has two wires, Blue and RED.  It's Drive Control Unit A:




So here's a wiring map so far:
Motor:
1). RED -> Green -> PTG-
2). Blue -> Red -> PTG+

Clutch:
1). Yellow -> Blue -> CLU+
2). -----
3). Yellow -> Grey -> CLU-
4). Pink -> Purple/White -> SVCC
5). Green -> Purple -> SENA
6). White -> Grey/Blue -> SENB
7). ----
8 ). Black -> Pink/Blue -> SEGA

So the power and polarity I have now, the question is what do SVCC/SENA/SENB/SEGA do.  They all hook into the Power Tailgate Control Unit so understanding this best is the key.
