Mustang top

[lgbnaf7]

I have a 89 convertable. I am replacing the whole top fram and all. When i hit the switch I hear just a clicking noise no movement are anything. It was going up and down before now just the clicking noise. I have 2 motors and nothing with both. What are the green plugs on rhe side of the pump and can those go bad?

THat is a tuff one.. Have you checked to see that you have fluid in the pump?

If the circuit was open, I don't think that you would hear any activation noises. Have you put the top down before? (Just asking) the switch operates both ways.

If I remember (cars been in the shop for a month) You push the switch for the top to go down and you pull the switch for the top to go up....

If you know that (I am sure you do) and you are still getting the clicking, I'd start with the fluid. Next it would be time to break out the multimeter..

you'll hear the motor, if the motor is working. the click is a good thing. check the wiring going from the relay to the motor, there may be a break in one of the wires.

i get that from time to time. i think that the motor is low on fluid and out of prime. i have a leaking ram so thats my problem.
