Noise in rear compartment, fixed
I have had a noise in the rear compartment of my 88 coupe that has been driving me crazy for years. I finally found out what was causing it.
I have taken the wiring harness and all the relays I could find and wrapped then in foam to no avail. I thought maybe it was the rear hatch manual release mechanisiam. Nothing stopped the noise until I replaced my power antenna. It turns out that the connector; witch is a nice peace of metal was hitting the inner fiberglass. It is burred behind two peaces of plastic and when you hit a little bump it would hit the inner body. I wrapped the connector and all the wiring in foam. No more noise, at least from that area.
Hope this helps someone with the same problem.
