OK, it was working fine, I just got the car not to long ago (like a week or so...) and the top would roll down fine, it is a 1990 Convertible. But now, I unlatch the top, and push the button to roll it back, and all it does is beep?


WTF??? Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a tempeture switch, or something weird that I'm missing, and it just won't let you put it down when it's below a certain temp. Or what?

I'm totally lost on were to start looking for the problem! Is there anyway to manually roll the motor back, so that I can see if it is just jammed? Or does it have to be done electrically? Also is there a common proboblem that just happens on the vert, or is it just something stupid mine is doing?




Thanks, Cory

 

hand brake i think
u have to have the handbrake up to move the top (brake light on at least)

 

Yeah you gotta hve the e-brake on for the top to work.

 

LoL, mine did the same thing today and i was like WTF?!! Then i noticed the instructions on the visor said "e-brake" must be pulled. So uh...yeah like they all said.

 

Holly ****......

Thank you guys very much!!! I wouldhave never thought of that..... And I never noticed a light on in that cluster.... Maybe I just didn't look



Thanks again! I hope that's what it is

 

Too funny mine just did the same thing today. I went outside to take the top off and got the "beep, beep", but the top wouldn't move.

Came inside, logged onto this forum/ did a search and found this post.

Went outside to see if the ebrake was pulled up and to my suprise it was....so i thought "great, i still have a problem". I decided to get in the car anyhow and try again. I grabbed the ebrake and discovered, though my wife pulled it up it wasn't engaged.

Problem solved!

 

hehe, i did the same like 2 days after i got mine i was anout to call the dealer when i figured it out
