1990 convertible hard tonneau release button

Recommended Posts

It seems like my convertible has acquired gremlins over the winter in both the trunk and tonneau release mechanisms.  I posted prior to this post about the trunk release problem now I'm having to open the tonneau by using the levers manually after pulling the lever to release the rear of the top.  Sliding the tonneau release button up doesn't work.  Isnt this supposed to activate a solenoid to pop the tonneau up?  It doesn't click at all.  Would this be controlled by a fuse?

You could have a fuse, relay or interlock problem.

If it is not fuse #2 ....I hope you have a 1990 service manual because it is too complex to try and explain here.  Several relays come in play and there is an interlock with the trunk, that keeps the tonneau or trunk from opening when the other is open.

See page 8A- 121 of the service manual and there is a short trouble shooting guide on the next page.
