Power top latching motor questions
 

The left side power convertible top lifting/latching motor isn't working. Ive taken it off the car.

Can this motor be bench tested off the car? It has a 4 wire harness. The wire colors are blue, black, red, and green.

I did take the motor apart. Everything looks good internally. No broken teeth on any gears. The latching lever will move when the manual screw is turned by hand. The motor isn't locked up.

You don't indicate, so I will guess this is a 3.2 car. My schematic doesn't match with yours in terms of colors. But you have two wires that go to the motor section and two that go to the mechanical section. Jump the wires going to the motor and if the motor is sound it will run. Flip the power and ground and it will turn the other way. The other two wires I believe are for a micro switch which tells the system to stop the motors or start them. There is a very detailed test plan that walks you through the whole enchilada. Probably find it on line. The harnesses will over time begin to break down at the bend points where the top spars collapse or extend. Bob
