My 88' RX& convertable top will not go down. When I turn the **** it does nothing,; if I turn the **** to go up it will be can click like it is trying but of course it is already up. Any Help?

 

Does it beep at all when you do this? Did you unlatch the header latches before trying to lower the top? Is the car in neutral with the parking brake up? Your question is a bit unclear at the end there...

 

The car is in neutral, brake on, latches un lached, and does not beep when I turn **** to put top down. IT does beep when I turn **** to put top up.

 

Then I would guess the switch is bad- waiting for Icemark to confirm.

 

icemark?

 

He is a mod on the forum who rebuilds a lot of the sketchy electricals on these cars, and has amassed some knowledge about stuff like this.

 

i had somewhat of the same problem, my top would sometimes do that.
just take out the switch and clean all the debris and **** out from it.

 

LOL at your sig^

 

haha yeh, the same thing happened to me earlier today with my mac and cheese man.

 

I had a similar problem where my switch stopped responding while I was putting the top up. So in mid-up my top simply stops. I could put it back down, but it wouldn't go up. I tried taking the key out of the ignition, ran around the car counterclockwise 3 times, performed several tantric rituals, threatened the car with a voddoo curse.

The top eventually decided to go up...I think it was the tantric rituals that did the trick. Next chance I got I swapped a spare switch.

 

sounds like a bad switch. If you really want to put the top up and down for the time being, you can go to the vert top motors and put them in "neutral mode" by using a screwdriver.

that will get you to pimp topless while you get the switch repaired or replaced.

 

um...so your saying your noodle responded to the noodles?? That's rather homoerotic...and I'm not even getting involved in the cheese part!!!

 

eyy man, its mac n cheese, everybody gets an erection when they see it.haha

 

Hell man, you're gonna put Viagra out of business if you say that too loud!!!

I'm picturing a couple in their 70's...she puts on her best nightgown...reaches for the Kraft Mac....etc, etc...

 

haha, no wonder all the people in the kraft commericals look like they all just got done doing a circle jerk.

 

HA!!!

 

im waiting now for somebody that was in a Kraft commercial to pm me and bitch me out.ha

 

I'm trying to do this right now. What exactly do you mean when you say this?

 

I dont now about the '88s but my 91 has a "test" connector in the engine bay. I think you can even use it to move the top.
