windows, ventilators and rear quarter windows with
relation to the side roof rail weatherstrips. Make
all necessary adjustments for correct top align-
ment. See "Folding Top Adjustments''. If a failure
continues to exist after a check for mechanical
failure has been completed, the hydro-lectric sys-
tem should then be checked for electrical or hy-
draulic failures.
open or short circuit between power source
and switch.
2. Checking the Folding Top Control Switch.
If there is current at the feed wire terminal
of the terminal block, operation of switch can
be checked as follows:
ELECTRICAL CHECKING PROCEDURE
If a failure in the hydro-lectric system continues
to exist after the mechanical operation has been
checked, the electrical system should then be
checked. A failure in the electrical system may
be caused by a low battery, breaks in wiring,
faulty connections, mechanical failure of an elec-
trical component, or wires or components shorting
to one another or to body metal. Before beginning
checking procedures, check battery according to
recommended procedure.
1. Check for Current at Folding Top
Control Switch.
a. Disengage terminal block from rear of
switch.
b. Connect light tester to central feed ter-
minal of switch terminal block.
c. Ground light tester ground lead to body
metal.
d. If light tester does not light, there is an
Fig. 13-68—Checking Motor Wiring
a. Place a #12 jumper wire on switch terminal
block between center terminal (feed) and
one motor wire terminal. If motor op-
erates with jumper wire, but did not operate
with switch, switch is defective.
b. Connect jumper wire between center ter-
minal and other motor wire terminal on
switch terminal block. If motor operates
with jumper wire, but did not operate with
switch, switch is defective.
3. Checking Switch to Motor Lead Wires.
If switch is found to be operating properly, the
switch to motor lead wires can be checked as
follows: See Figure 13-68.
a. Disconnect green switch - to - motor wire
from motor lead in rear compartment.
b. Connect a light tester to green switch - to -
motor wire terminal.
c. Ground light tester ground lead to body
metal.
d. Actuate switch to "down" position. If tester
does not light, there is an open or short
circuit in wire.
e. Disconnect red switch - to - motor wire from
motor lead.
f. Connect light tester to red switch-to-motor
wire terminal.
g. Actuate switch to "up" position. If tester
does not light, there is an open or short
circuit in wire.
4. Checking the Motor Unit.
If a light tester indicates current at the motor
lead terminals of the switch-to-motor wires,
but motor unit does not operate from switch,
a final check of the motor unit can be made
as follows:
