Convertible / Power top Failed open and won't close...?

Still working this issue. I did get it to close I ran a hot line right to the motor, benched it in place you might say. Still searching for the flaky ground wire you had suggested. Thanx and sorry for the delay. SIA Moses.

Hey, If shorting to the battery worked, just find the last place in the circuit between the battery and power roof motor that has power. Where power ends is where the fault is.

Okay so , where we're at is... With the switch for the top unplugged from the top's motor, I get good voltage (12-14) when actuating the switch. Plugged into the motor, the same lead shows no measurable voltage. Running a jumper wire from the battery to the top's motor, motor made a few whirs and clicks and did nothing. The first time I used the jumper wire, the top closed when the switch was actuated. At this point I would say the top closed as a fluke, the failure was and still seem intermittent ? I can not duplicate the failure or the success? Pulling the motor is next. as it seems (Per the test suggested) that's where the fault is... Can the electric side of the pump be rebuilt? Where to now with this?

Ok great. I'll certainly look at the schematic today and either tell you where the fault is, or give you one or two more checks. I do need to know: when you disconnect the motor and press the switch, are you measuring power at the connector for the motor or switch?

Thanx Casey; I've tested at the motor side of the switch. That is, Disconnected the lead attached to the motor and tested against the switch. Yes, voltage disconnected. No, voltage reading when connected to the motor. ?

Ok, Remove the motor, test it with 12 volts in both directions. If it fails to spin in either direction, replace it. It looks as though the system is working correctly except for the motor. Give it a shot removed, so you know it is working properly and not fighting against something else.
