Rear hatch release relay

Can anyone tell me where my hatch release relay is, the one in the front of the car not the one in the rear cargo area. Thanks

Re: Rear hatch release relay

I thought thats power antenna relay on passenger side? It is on my 82. The rear hatch relay was on drivers side just right of the steering column with a few other relays/flashers.

Possibly for 82, But for my 87 and 89 the hatch relay is on the passenger side. I added the hatch button release to my 89 nd it didn;t work so i went to the dealer to try find a wiring diagram and found I needed the relay and that it was under the passenger side under the trim piece. I suppose it could vary greatly beteen any year / model though.

Yes they probably would have changed it when they went to the auto pull down function. Just trying to be of some help in case it was the same.
