my power top is not working .the switch and relays came out of a working convertible ,and the motor works if I hot wire it up to a battery charger but the system as a whole does not.I have 12v going to the relays and they both click. took it to a convertible top place and he charged me 130.00 and said my motor is grounding out. but like I said it works off the battery charger.
