hi guys!
i finally have some time to try and fix the top operation so am resurrecting my long dead thread hoping you guys have some advice.
to make it short: top light stays on the dash all the time now and top does not operate up or down at all (been using it in manual mode for a few months now). before it used to work intermittently allowing me to operate it either up all the way or down all the way or both. not anymore.
i know by now the top needs adjustment(align left and right side to move together correctly) and i understand how to do that BUT since the damn thing won't let me operate it at all i am stuck.
both transmissions seem to work fine (they spin). it's a 2000 so it has the microswitch that tells the top when it's fully closed or opened on the driver's side transmission. i have checked and replaced that microswitch with one from Woody but no change.
at this point i am trying to find a way just to operate the top so i can adjust it. any idea how i can "reset" it? i believe the top thinks its still in operation therefore the light staying on constantly.
i tried pulling out the relay (i have the smart top on which worked ok for 2-3 months until this happened), i used another relay from a friend.. i disconnected the battery..
what else can i try just to get it to move again?
thanks in advance,
Cristian
