Re: tanneau release relay location

Is it the same as a coupe hatch release relay?

Lon,
I must have not been clear... I was referring to the relay itself.

Do they use the same relay for the Convertible Tonneau release and the release on the coupes?

It would make sense as they do as they use the same button (more or less) just different graphic.

Re: tanneau release relay location

Is the Firebird tonneau relay on the inside of the firewall or the outside and approximately where is it (driver's or passenger side)? Thanks.

Re: tanneau release relay location

I am trying to remember, but for some reason it is sticking in my head that it is behind the trim panel on the RH side... There is the relay for the power window, the subwoofer amp (thru 88) and If I remember a relay... Heck now I have to check...
