CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the convertible top switch is operated, a signal 
is sent to the convertible top control module. The 
convertible top control module sends convertible top 
switch "ON" signal to the power window main switch 
to lower the door windows automatically. The power 
window main switch lowers the door windows and 
simultaneously sends the "AUTO DOWN" signal to 
the convertible top control module. When the "AUTO 

DOWN" signal is received, the convertible top control 
module drives the quarter window regulator motor to 
lower the quarter windows and simultaneously drives 
the topstack drive motor assembly to operate the 
electric convertible top.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The cause may be a malfunction of the topstack con-
trol module circuit.
