Hey all,
Have been asking lots of advice lately, figured since I finally have some good news, I might as well pass on what I learned.
I have a 94 vert that was sitting for a couple years. Old owner told me the top did go up and down, but when I tried it, all i heard was the clicking of the relay. Even posted on here saying it must be bad.
Spoke with a local top replacement guy about new vinyl and mentioned the motor / pump problem. He said, not it's probably not bad, it happens all the time. If it's not used often, you can get what's called VAPOR LOCK.
To fix Vapor Lock, simply have one person in the car manning the switch and have a second tap the motor (black motor side, not the resevoir side) and try the motor. After only a few taps BAM, the top started working just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
