Help! Convertible top stuck!
Help! Convertible top stuck!
I recently bought a 65 convertible with power top. Everything was fine until last night when I got home and the top wouldn't move. It is stuck in the down position. The aftermarket switch was not working at all and was very hot on the backside. The motor for the top was very hot and had a bad ground. I disconnected the battery and the power top switch. Now that it has cooled down, and the ground tightened, the relay by the top motor clicks when I touch the switch wires together but the motor does nothing. Is there a way to pinpoint the problem? Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

After taking the top motor off and bench testing I believe the relay is the problem. Ordered a new one from Clark's today. We'll find out if it is the culprit in a few days.
