    BOXSTER ROOF NOT WORKING
    -the brake dash light comes on
    -the windows go down 2" when I open doors
    -I replaced the micro switch at the latch last year
    -the gear drive at the roof struts looks fine

    the motor spins but I get a clockwise rotation for up and down

    the motor always spins clockwise, can that be right?
    shouldn't it turn one way for up and the other for down?

    -I think the dash switch is okay, it closes one circuit for up and another one for down (but without knowing specifically which tabs do what I don't know which circuit are supposed to close)
    -I test for voltage at the motor and I get 12 v across two different circuits (but don't know what the correct power should be) but I don't get a positive and a negative 12 v signal
    -one more time shouldn't I get a positive and negative 12 v at the motor for up and down?
    -I would like to test the relay but don't know specifically which wires to jump

    CAN ANYBODY HELP?
