My hatch button doesnt open the hatch. The problem is also that i have no key cylinder in it either. So with the switch not working and no key, cant open the rear. Is there any manual way to open it? I have tried to diagnos the wiring, but having trouble with that, so fugure if i could get the hatc hup and put a new cylinder in there it would open manually......

 

Check the relay. In a Camaro, it's behind the shifter.

also check in the dr side kick panel as there is a fuseable link that can go. that was the issue with my 83. you can test your relay with a 9v batt by crossin the post. thats how i ruled out my relay. the relay James speaks of is right above the ALDL plug so that panel needs to come down.

 

Didnt find a fuseable link in the kicker panel. Not sure what you mea nby the ALDL plug, I looked inthere, underthe shifter cover, where is the relay? Is the post on the buttom of the little post that goes down wit hte console holder?

 

the ALDL plug is the plu thats at your knee where you check codes. i forgot to mention, the fuseable link looks like a diode, resistor, capasator take your pick. its quite small and will poss be on the black wire. whats strange is mine was in silver tape and this was factory.
