Re: irrated top operation
$185 an hour? Ummmm ok. Sounds like they don't really know are and making an assumption. With a damn voltmeter you can measure to see of releasing the top with the "D" handle causes a ground to appear at the TCM. If a ground appears, you know the switch is ok.
THEN, you grab your Star Diagnostic tool and check to see if the TCM is indicating that the top is open, if not the TCM is bad.
Has anyone (Sorry, have not reviewed the thread) checked in the cavity to see if it's web back there? In any event, I wish one of these 'bad top problems' would occur close to me so I could look at it......................
