Convertible top will not go up or down.

Featured Replies

My '67 GTO convertible top motor stopped working while in the process of raising the top.  It struggled slowly to raise until I stopped it half way up so I could open the windshield fasteners.  When I tried to raise the top the rest of the way, nothing happened.  Battery checked out OK.  Fuse on fuse block was OK.  Both dash switch and power pump were replaced in 2014.  Someone suggested I test the power top relay (circuit breaker) to see if it had failed before ordering a new dash switch and/or a new pump.  Problem is I cannot locate the relay in the engine bay.  It is supposed to be next to the power brake booster but I do not have power brakes.  I feel that once I find this 40 amp relay, I can run a test to see if it is defective.  I need a photo of its location in my 2bbl, 400cu.in. engine without power brakes.  I have attached a photo of what I believe the circuit breaker looks like and photos of my engine bay.1350513168_IMG_34891.thumb.JPG.8f2ee032599817712f623da35d4c6726.JPG

Hi Redgoat, welcome to FP.

Have you looked on the passenger side of the firewall? My understanding is the relay looks like your second picture and it should be mounted on the firewall in plain sight.
