Pulled the entire dash & Interior out of car for a full restore.

The convertible top was in the down position.

I want to put the top back in the upright position, but it will not work in the current form. I plugged in the convertible switch at the dash level, turned on the ignition key, engaged the emergency brake... and nothing happens.

The windows will not work either.

Does anyone know what the simplest method would be to restore the electronics without having to plug all the dash components back in ?

I'm intentionally delaying the reinstall until all the painting is completed (inside & out).

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

You could use a fused jumper from the battery to the top motor. It would appear to be the left-most wire going to the motor in this diagram.

Good luck.

Is this an original Cluster that would work in my 1987 Convertible 2.3L? Turn signals work, but not correctly.
