Is there a way to be able to test things like the convertible top motors and window motors and any other miscellaneous accessory motors while they're not attached to a battery with the car? Is there another way?

 

Digital multimeter

 

What would I have to do exactly? Is it possible to somehow hook it up manually to a battery? Like for window motors or Vert top motors?

 

Sure ohm it out with a DVOM or simply pull a diagram, figure out what does what, and hardwire it and see if it works. Not that hard.

 

Well trying repeatedly to hardwire it didnt get me anywhere that I can tell, but Im still not for certain. What exactly do I need to do with a Digital Multimeter? I got the meter out and here's where Im at:

 

ouch, looks like you need to get the pin-out from the FSM or Haynes manual to see which leads you need to test for continuity. once you've tested for that, get a 12v battery if you have one around and see if you can make it work (or like, what, 1 9v and 3 1.2v's in series?)
