Bought my son a 2003 GT Conv with a new top, but it doesn’t go up or down. I was advised to check the relays first. However when I look at the diagrams for the fuse boxes I’m only seeing a fuse & not a relay for the top. Any ideas?

You are aware that the top is locked out unless the emergency brake is pulled up a few clicks right?

The convertible top raise and lower relay is under the rear seat bottom cushion.

Confirm key on power in/out of fuse F2.20. Confirm always on power in/out of circuit breaker F1.28.

1999-2004 MY fuse panel schedule:

IMO, one of the next things to check is the emergency brake handle. What you want to confirm is there is a completed ground circuit when the handle is pulled up a few clicks. CONFIRM there is a good ground path with the brake handle up a few clicks at the raise relay VT/BK wire.

Note it is somewhat common that a drink spill in the center console will affect the parking brake switch.

Confirm there is always on power at the raise relay RD/LB wire.

Confirm there is key on power at the raise relay VT wire.

For all of the above tests it is best to use a test light that will "load" the circuit.

What to do next depends upon the SPECIFIC test results.
