relay location?
 
hey guys, i'm hoping someone can help me. i'm trying to figure out whats happened to the soft top on my 2007 Base model. I'm thinking its a relay but can't find the damn thing. a little background on the issue. bought the car with the understanding that the soft top didn't work. i've ordered a new motor thinking that may solve the issue, sadly it didn't. replaced the microswitch at the front latch assembly with no luck. When i check to see if the motor is making any noise or vibration when i push the switch i'm not getting anything nor do the windows dip as they would normally do when you raise/lower the top. that leads me to think perhaps the Relay has gone bad but the only thing i can find is the relay box for the 986 which is just above the fuse box in the drivers footwell. can anyone advise me to where i might find this elusive beast? or if you have any other ideas on the soft top repair, i would be eternally grateful.

The top relay is the large double relay in the relay panel above the fuses in the footwell.

Sadly those have led me to the relay which isn't in the same location as the 986. I have the fuse panel and nothing else.

Yes, in a 986, the 987 however that's not the case
