Re: Soft Top Failure -- advice needed Posted by Doug [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Soft Top Failure -- advice needed, MS, Wed, 7 Nov 2007 13:10:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
MS, thanks for the help! I didn't see a microswitch at the bearing area--I assume this is the main pivot area on the two sides? I saw another switch next to the rear seats and it was fine. I saw a small ground wire to the top of one of the hydraulic rams on the left but not the other.
UPDATE:
the problem is that it won't raise the main top up as it is either too weak or some error is telling it to stop. if I manually help the top up while someone else pushes the button I can get the top to open fully. Once open it will close normally by itself with no sounds or problems.
the main obvious symptom is it makes a clicking sound as it raises the fifth(last) bow/the window section upwards. It does this at normal speed but clicks real fast about 7-10 times as it is rising up. the sound comes from the left pivot area of the top and NOT the right side.
the hydraulic fluid is full to visual inspection and I see no bent tabs, nothing loose, and no obvious leaks
any suggestions??
I'm sure that peculiar clicking sound is the telltale and someone may know what the problem is??
