The convertible top on my buddies 91 went out today, it was halfway down and just abruptly stopped. The pump still gets power and is grounded fine, so its not electrical. You can hear a solenoid (I guess) clicking when you hit the top button. I did a search and it seems common for some kind of brushes on the inside to sieze up. We're going to disassemble it and try to clean it up, theres gunk around the hose connections so its probably been leaking.
My question is, how do you go about refilling the pump to reinstall it? Do you just top it off with fluid and hook the lines up, or do you need to purge the lines as well?
Any other ideas on what may have caused the pump to stop working would be appreciated too!
