If the resistance is low it is likely that the switch is not quite making when the deck lid is unlocked or is erratic in closing the contact. Get out the top manual and follow the control circuit for the deck up sequence and use a multi meter to check the contacts to confirm that the correct ones are closed when the lid is unlocked, without looking at the diagrams and manual that should be with the plunger right up, make note of the resistance it should be very low. Yes you can take the switch apart and clean/repair it but prior to doing that it should be tested. Had posted a reply to this last night but for some reason did not get there. Is this most likely a sticky relay or a switch that is working only intermittently? The deck open relay and left deck closed limit switch are used for both the top retract and erect correct? I can understand why it works one way but consistently gets stuck the other way. I have looked at the square birds diagram and yes, I own all of the manuals and have reviewed, I'd just like some input from others. The cycle was stuck in the dec unlock phase and was easily bumped to the deck lid open phase with some gentle lifting. However, when I went to double check, the same thing happened again when trying to retract the top. The top fully retracted without issue.įurther, the left deck closed limit switch seems to be working, as when the top is open I push it and the courtesy light goes on and off as I push the plunger of the switch.Īfter sitting overnight, the deck lid then unlocked and opened properly tierce the top. However, with careful gentle lifting by two people while a third fires the switch, the lid is lifted ~1" and then the pump too over and worked fine. Then, these just continue to spin and it sound like the pump doesn't kick in to initiate the "deck lid open" phase. When going to retract the top, the deck unlock works properly and fires the screws to raise the deck. The top was working great last fall, but the car sat in winter storage until this weekend. To start, everything is in proper alignment as far as the screws. On my 1963 roadster I've been having some issues with the top.
