Hello in Ft. Myers, I may be next in line to visit you to diagnose / get a convertible top working again (2005 SRT6 roadster). I just purchased a DRBIII scanner with ALL of the accessories (but haven't yet opened the box to learn how to use it). Basically my story is that the top was working properly but some of the hydraulic cylinders were leaking so I had all 7 top hydraulic cylinders rebuilt by Top Hydraulics. After reinstalling everything, the top would not function correctly. Tried working with Klaus by phone and e-mail but eventually gave up (not his fault . . . mine I'm sure). I believe that I either I have a travel sensor hook up reversed OR the bow cylinder and / or the tonneau cylinder are not working. I have tried every which way to hook up the travel sensors but just cannot find the solution by trial and error. So, If I bring the car to you along with my DRBIII / Crossfire card and Multiplexer cable, will that diagnose the specific problem and do you think you could get the top working? Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Bob Davis
