They used that awful black tape as loom, Iv'e seen it get loose in high heat - I hate that they used that over the old "split loom" that did the job bettter, was easier to get around when working on wires, and left no glue residue on your hands.

PTCMs RARELY go bad. In all the tops I've fixed, not once was the PTCM at fault. I have swapped them between cars, to prove the PTCM is not the issue a few times - never reset or programmed anything and never "broke" a donor car's top by doing so.

I am disappointed you did not do my test. I work on electronic systems for a living, been doing it since 1982, why do you not want to simply do the test and find out where the issue is? I cannot help you if you refuse my help. Why am I putting all this time in for you?
