I found this one on eBay, but the part numbers don't match ...

Here is another one on ebay:

Another option is to search car-part.com. Unfortunately, they do not list the control module itself in the site search engine. You would need to search for convertible top motor and around 30 listings come up. The seller contact information is provided in the results for each listing. You could call them to see if they still have the module for sale.

From observation of postings on the forum the majority of convertible top problems are not caused by a bad module. I think it is the go to reason inexperienced shops give for the top not working. It could just be a sensor, or need to be manually cycled. In my opinion the convertivle top expert on the forum is Pizzaguy. You should search for his posts on troubleshooting the problem before you buy the module especially as they are regulary around $500 on ebay.

Maybe the most common reason it will not open is the sensor/switch in the trunk that tells the module the divider is in place. Either the divider is not engaging the switch or the switch has broken.

You should also post exactly what the problem is with the symptoms to get feedback from the forum members.

 

I sent about a dozen messages to different parts stores in the US over the weekend ... hoping to hear back this week ... there's gotta be a reasonably priced module out there, somewhere ...

 

That's a good find, but the guy won't ship to Canada! ... and, he refuses to take messages ...

And your comment, that the module is a "go to reason" is very troubling ... I hope Im not making a big mistake ... Im already into the shop for 2-3 hours at $140 per hr ...

If this module doesn't work, Im not going to be a very happy camper ....

 

I took the Crossfire to a new shop, Knibbe ... they have a good rep, but they are a bit pricey ... my usual shop, Master Tune, is out of action ... their retaining wall collapsed, and, the gov't shut them down, until it is repaired ...

 

I did not know you had another (older) thread on the problem and members like Pizzaguy have been helping you. That is good to see.

 

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that ... Ive got two threads going here ...

 

... and you're right, Pizza Guy is awesome ...

 

Update: I cancelled the order for the $800 module, it was just too crazy expensive, and the shop will only charge me for the diagnostic, a couple of hours, maybe $300 ...
Meanwhile, Im in negotiations with a fellow on eBay, for the module ... I'm hoping to score it at a fair price $400-$500 ...

Also, a GREAT fellow named Bronson at East Coast Auto Source, says he's got my back, and will keep an eye out for me ... thank god, for good people, eh? ...

Meanwhile, the Crossfire is back in the parking garage ... sans module ... but, she sure looks great after the paint job on the hood and fenders ... Maranello, in Calgary, that does high-end sportscars, did an AMAZING job ... and, they even polished the smoke off the headlights, for free ... maybe I should drop them a few bottles of wine, in thanks???

Cheers, guys
