[QUOTE=pizzaguy;953333]You don't want to hear
my thoughts. You want advice.
We must start from the top. I looked, didn't find where you described what is going on with the top, other than "doesn't work". (If you did, I missed it.)
We need way more background on what it's doing.
Did it ever work since you have had the car?
Bought the car "new" Got it with 12 miles on the odometer but at almost half price because of a battery issue...the trunk latch did not turn off the light and so the battery kept on dying. In any case the top stopped working in the last year or so but do not remember when Car has only 9000 miles on it so do not use it much. The stoppage was not associated with anything I know of. It has been in a garage for the last few years and got some moisture in it during hurricane irma with some mold but it was working fine after irma and was driven a few times after that.. So the top stopped retracting probably two or so years ago.
What led up to it not working, did you change the car's battery?
Have changed the battery numerous times. The Florida heat is not nice to batteries. There is a possibility that it stopped working in association with a battery change but not sure because never associated the two.
Did you leave the top down or trunk open in the rain?
No. Only issue was some moisture after hurricane irma. There was no gross flooding but the car was in a lot of moisture and because I was not in the house for about 6 months it had a mold issue which is corrected except for some staininig.
Have you noticed any fluid leaks?
No
Does the button LED blinik?
Blinks when I push it and stops blinking when I let go
Is the LED always on?
Yes unless I push the button and then it blinks
Does the dash panel 'beep' at you when you hit the button?
Just one beep when I push the button
Does it beep randomly at times?
No
Tell us what is going on.
If you want to learn about the top system, I offer this:
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...p-sensors.html
Also, if the top lost sync, just re-sync it, use this manual procedure, put top up and down
COMPLETELY three times with engine running - if it works after that, it was just a loss of sync, which happens from time to time:
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...operation.html Noticed an about less than 1 cm gap between the top and the car where it hooks in...will do the manual procedure tomorrow and see if it helps.
Most "Top Threads" are here,if you'd like to read and read and read (which is how any of us who know anything have learned what we have learned, you are welcome to our libraries!
