Just brought it home. 163000 on it, has some issues but for 1500 can't complain. Needs a new rack, tires, air conditioning, ABS light on and Check Engine light on. It also has a top issue. I will spend most of a weekend pulling all of the wiring out of the thing from the previous owner's over use of massive speaker wire! I am good with most everything but this top is something new to me.
I got it to go down tonight. Windows down, parking brake up, held the switch down for several seconds and then heard the motor. The top finally moved and went all the way down. 10 minutes later I had to manually pull the top up because no matter how much I played with the parking brake and switch (drove the car) it would not move. Is there a test for the switch and then the motor? Is the parking brake relay a possible failure point to also be tested?
Thanks to all in advance!
