Inoperative Power Top Motor
- Remove power top inhibit relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC) located at the left front corner of engine compartment, just behind battery. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and power top inhibit relay terminal No. 16 or 30 (White/Yellow wires) on PDC. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in White/Yellow wire between PDC and junction block. See appropriate wiring diagram in POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.
- Connect a jumper wire between power top inhibit relay terminals No. 30 and 38 on PDC. Operate power convertible top. If power top operates correctly, go to next step. If power top does not operate correctly, go to step 6.
- Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and power top inhibit relay terminal No. 18 (White/Red wire) on PDC. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, replace PDC.
- Using test light, connect between power top inhibit relay cavity terminal No. 18 and other lead to terminal No. 16 located on PDC. If test light illuminates, replace power top inhibit relay. If test light does not illuminate, go to next step.
- Connect a jumper wire between ground and power top inhibit relay terminal No. 18 on PDC. Turn ignition off. Disconnect BCM 14-pin connector C1 located at junction block and ensure connector is clean and not damaged. See Figure and Figure
. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and BCM 14-pin connector C1 terminal No. 9 (White/Red wire). See CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in White/Red wire.
- Disconnect power top switch connector. Ensure ignition is on. Do not disconnect jumper wire. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 6 (White/Black wire) on power top switch connector. See Fig 1. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, problem is not with feed circuit to power top switch. Go to POWER CONVERTIBLE TOPS - SEBRING CONVERTIBLE article for further diagnosis. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in White/Black wire.
