Just installed new switch. Works perfect in closed position but runs steady when opened.

There should be an adjustment either on the hood,or the latch bar.
SOURCE: Trunk Latch will not pull closed.
The small switch is the trunk by the pull down motor with the flap that depresses down is at fault. That is what you call the truck pull down switch. You can take this part and show it to a Cadillac or Ford parts department sales person and get a replacement for you car. Ford uses the same part for their Lincolns and Crown Vic's. The part is made by the very same supplier for Ford & GM. Ford will sell this part at a much lower cost as well compared to GM
Testimonial: "This is correct! "

There is a switch that lets the motor know that the trunk is closed all the way. This switch may be faulty or not adjusted correctly. Find the wire that feeds the switch and check it with an ohm meter to see if it is working.
SOURCE: how to replace pull down trunk 1995 Cadillac Deville
The trunk lid pull-down assembly switch, part number 16629927, most likely needs to be replaced. The switch is mounted on top of the trunk lid pull-down assembly motor at the bottom of the trunk. The switch costs about $43. It's easy to replace. Just unplug the electrical connector, remove one Torax-head screw, and pull up on the switch while wiggling it.
To verify that the trunk lid pull-down assembly switch (which is actually a combination of three enclosed ganged striker switches and one lid ajar switch) needs replacing, connect a test lamp or voltmeter between the orange and black wires on the electrical connector. If the lamp lights or the voltmeter shows about 12VDC, then either the connector needs cleaning or the pull-down assembly switch is bad. If the lamp doesn't light or the voltmeter reading is zero, trunk compartment fuse D7 is open, or a wire is open or shorted to ground.
