Ok so I read the sticky on how to trick your car into thinking it's in park so that the top works again (swapped to man. obv.)

Anyway, me and my dad wired the brown yellow with the blue or whatever and it worked ONCE. We put the top down and it worked fine, but then when i tried to put it back up, it didnt make and noise or move at all. Blown fuse or something? I redid the wires, but still wasn't working.

I haven't hooked up the reverse lights or anything yet, but that doesn't matter right? Anyway, looked around the car, but couldn't find any fuses or anything, any help would be great, THanks

Be sure to check the pump in the trunk. I'm wondering if you are low on hydrolic fluid or something like that. Just give a visual inspection of the pump to check the vavle to make sure it's in automatic mode, and to see that there is enough fluid in the reservoir.

If that's not the case.. then check for blown fuses.

If you got the wiring right to make it work once.. it should work again and again.

Reverse lights wouldn't have any influence on it, so you can rule that out.

As far as I could see, the resiviour looked fine, but I'll have to check again in the morning. Any idea where the fuses would be? Thanks for the help

good help vertbish!

This thread might be a little more pertinent to 'verts. It's the sticky thread atop our forum. Ton's of good help here. zerothread/199318

make sure you download the 'vert FSM so that you have it handy.
