I'm having any issue here and I'm a little confused. My top dash light won't go out when I put the top up and clamp down the shell but it turns off when the top is totally down. What is the issue? I can't find any transmission sensor and I'm a little confused by "jumping or shorting it". How do you do it? This light is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated!

Jumping the pins only applies to manual tops. Probably a bad idea if your top is still powered. You either have a bad transmission micro switch, or one of the top latch switches.

Hey Particle,

Checking things out. Went over the latch switch and it looks ok. I check for a B-pillar switch which my model (2002 Boxster S) doesn't have. Can anyone confirm this? From what I read, this switch sends a signal to the relay that the top is closed. I'm still not sure what the top transmission switch looks like. I did a search and haven't come up with a photo...
