hatch release relay location ?
wheres this relay mounted at, and what color is the wire that feeds the switch and then in turn feeds the relay ?
mine doesnt work, and I dont know if its the switch or the relay or the feed wire not feeding it.
Want to find the relay so i can test. ho wmany terminals doe sit have on it ? i think only three, right ? like a horn relay ?
thanks for anything!

Hmm.. that's odd... here.. try this
http://www.geocities.com/vtcamaro/Wire-Diagrams.html
The link you're looking for is the top one, middle column.
(speaking for firebirds) The relay is not under the console (or else mine is missing yet still works somehow
). I've yet to have to screw with mine yet so I can't say for sure but, it's either going to be under the dash somewhere (yea,, real helpful huh ?) or it's that litttle black cube lookin relay thingy mounted on the hatch motor assembly itself (never paid attn when I had the cover off it).
Little to no help but, hey... I tried

Hatch release relay location
The Hatch Release relay is mounted in the hatch as part of the hatch motor assembly. It has 4 terminals and a total of 7 wires going into it. Some of these wires merely junction at the relay.
To get to it, pull the rearmost vinyl molding, and it is all there.
I hope that this helps

Hey Omar, did I give him bad info? If so, sincerest apologies and also thanks for the correction. I thought he was looking for the motor relay.
