Mines an '89 s2 and is the key/micro switch version. Talk about an over complicated system.
I had problems with mine recently. Firstly, the cable snapped near the motor. I made the brass cam to sort that out. Next, the cam on the motor snapped when I manually pulled the cable after my battery had died. Bought second hand motor just for the cam but this broke in my hands testing it. So I made an ally cam and put an ally handle in the mix with a bias to help pull it the correct way.

I recently dismantled, cleaned and re-adjusted my pins, plates, rod ends and Bowden cable. No more rattles, closes very smoothly with light pressure and opens just as smoothly on both the motor and key. It's an 86 model.

Mine is stuck closed now and the lock for the key doesn't work - it simply came out of the hole.
I can hear the click when I hit the release button but it looks like I'll have to crawl in there and try to adjust the pins so they'll release.
