and amazingly, the microswitch works again and I now am back to driving topless. Don't know how long until it fails again, but I'm happy now!by JTK San Diego - Main Forum
This is a problem since I'm in San Diego...need the top down! Is there a microswitch that could be faulty? Where do I check and how? The indicator light was OK forever and then just stopped working. MY '98. Now, when I release the top latch the windows drop completely rather than partially. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.by JTK San Diego - Main Forum
Now I see...sorry for the misunderstanding! I will dig in and begin to evaluate the pulleys and see what I can find. Thanks!!!!!by JTK San Diego - Main Forum
Jong...thanks. That actually sounds like something I can do! I'll give it a try and report back!by JTK San Diego - Main Forum
Mark, thanks for the analysis. No, it doesn't seem to happen when the engine is hot. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'm confident enough in my diagnostic abilities to go through the process you described. I can change oil, brake pads, rotors, etc. but determining relative belt tensions may be beyond me.by JTK San Diego - Main Forum
Over the past several weeks, on starting up my MY98 (77K) I periodically get a quick "howl" (that seems the best way to describe it) as the engine turns over which lasts for less than a second. After that, all seems normal and the engine idles and accellerates properly. It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but enough to make me concerned. Any thoughts as to what this might be or what it migby JTK San Diego - Main Forum
First, thanks to Pedro for resurrecting the board! Recently, when I use my turn signal for a left turn (doesn't seem to be an issue when turning right) I get a static like sound and no flashing directional arrow in the dash. If I jiggle or reactivate the stalk it will usually act normally, but it still seems somewhat unstable. Is this a contact issue in the stalk or a relay problem or somethinby JTK San Diego - Main Forum
