First, please, if I need a junkyard top motor, is the one in the Sebring the same as the one in the Lebaron convertible?
Second, please, my motor works intermittentently. It was perfect, then 9 out of 10 times, then 2 out of 3 times for a while, and I have a spare one I was going to disassemble and recondition.
Then I fainted 14 times, broke my arm, and also had intestinal surgery the same night.
Yestday was 19 days and I drove for the first time. At the end of the trip, I had to hit the top motor 3 sets of times before the top would go up. Never had to hit it more than 2 sets of times before and usually only once or not at all.
Are there brushes that are hanging up, and hitting the motor makes them fall back to a commutator? Are the brushes worn out. Are they standard that I can get at a motor repair supply shop in this city?
What am I doing when I hit the motor with a wrench and then it works???
