i have recently got a 88 vert and i live on a dirt road so i was playing around with the e brake and got home and not the switch in the ebrake must be bad cause the top wont go up or down but beeps with the ebrake ON, but their is no light in the idiot cluster. where is the switch located and is there a way to by pass the ebrake/ vert top control feature.
ive searched and have found some answers but not to helping.
thanks to any who can help.

do you hear a clicking of the relay at all at the motors? The relay may be bad.

 

i beeps i got it to go up it seems like the switch went bad for the ebrake. because it worked fine earlier before i yoked the ebrake to slide. i was just wondering where the switch for the ebake is and if i could make the top work without the ebrake switch, kinda like rewire it so it dosent need the switch to work. the motors are good for sure but it could be the relays. how do u check?
thanks

 

I forgot you stated the light did not come on for your e-brake. I would take the trim off from around the brake lever and check the switch there. It's around there somewhere. I can't remember exactly. I can send you part of the service manual that has the wiring diagram for the convertible top if you need it.

 

Use the diagnostic plug for the top, located on the passengers strut tower

 

cool thanks
