peecher Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 If the top worked before the alarm installation and the windows work ok they probably messed up the wiring to the top switch? Perhaps a broken wire? It maybe easier to fix that rather thn trying to disconnect the power cylinders that operate the top mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest samster1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sorry peecher..one more question...you are correct windows work..so how do i get to the wiring for top switch?..is it under dash or do under hood?..do i pull out top switch lever? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) The switch is behind the dash. It's a little crowded under there, probably why the power feed wire became disconnected during the alarm installation. Not too familar with the top control system but you might try this to confirm a loose or broken wire connection. Push or pull the top control knob and at the same time push one of the window buttons up. This will activate the pump and the top should move.
