I had a little mishap today, and it necessitated pulling the red emergency top drop handle, which means that my convertible top is now out of timing. I took a quick glance at the top, and it seems that there are three potentiometers - one on each side of the convertible top, and one in the trunk. The one on the left side seems to feedback info about the front half of the top, while the one on the pass. side seems to feedback about the position of the front half of the top. The one in the trunk apparently provides feedback about the status of the hard tonneau cover.
So, my question is... since these are all fixed position potentiometers, having a certain resistance value when in a certain position, I figure that if someone could tell me what these are, I could pull the red handle, position the top where it needs to be, and then re-engage the motor..... sounds good? I don't know! There must be a way to reposition the top without having to go to the dealer and have them program it.
See, normally going to the dealer wouldn't be a problem, but the dealer in my town is so bad, they have saab owners driving two hours in either direction just to get oil changes.
