Re: whats this relay do?

I have an 82 Camaro also and am not aware of any relay in the area you describe. What color wires are connected to it? Perhaps you could post a sketch of the wiring ( showing what color wires are connected to the relay coil and what color wires are connected to the relay contacts) or pictures of the relay and its location.

I have a feeling that what you are seeing is the hatch release solenoid which is located in the area that you are describing.
