im going to be selling my car soon, but im having a problem with my top, it went down and never came up. i tried looking in the chilton for info, but it only talks about removing and installing the motor, but i want to troubleshoot it first to see if it is the motor before i replace it and i need to know how to make the top come back up, also if anyone knows how to change the top out, id appreatiate it also. please email me some information to [email protected]

check that the BRAKE light comes on whenever you pull the hand brake. Also, the pistons might be messed up. Does the motor sound like it's working? I had the piston problem on my first stang and switched it out myself when I was 17, so I'm pretty sure you can do it.
Make sure your car is in nuetral and what you do is keep the button pushed down to raise the top and apply and release the emergency brake over and over again.. Mine does the same thing sometimes and its like it isnt sensing that the emergency brake is on. Just play around with it and see what happens

If the motor sounds like it working, look inside the rear quarter panels & see if fluid is spraying inside there. That is what mine did when the cylinder seal sprung a leak & the top would not go up.
