91' 300SL soft top problems...
I have read hundreds of posts, soft tops not working, but can't seem to find a problem like I'm having. Sure would appreciate it if someone could please help me out!! My hard top and soft top have been working fine, today I had my conv. top half way up, while searching for a problem I was having with my 3rd. brake light. (sorry if I'm wandering with the problem but trying to give you all the facts) My battery has been awful weak so while the top was in the half up position, I decided to put a new battery in. I hooked a battery pack into the cig. lighter, hoping to keep the systems energized. After I connected the new battery, the red switch for the top control and the roll bar lights were lit. When I pulled the codes for the top it kept telling me the top wasn't latched and the red light would stay on. So I manually latched the top to the windshield and latched the rear down, couldn't get the storage panel to lock. The lights went out on the red control knob and also the lights on the roll bar switch. After doing so I checked the codes again on #10 and #7. Number 10 gave me a code of 20, in which I believe is saying the hard top is on. #7 gave me no codes at all. I cleared the #10 code. When I try to raise and/or lower the top with the switch it just blinks and nothing happens, no noises no clicking, nothing!! The roll bar is also INOP... When I try to pull more codes off of #10, the switch light just lights and when I remove the ground wire from #10 the light goes out, no codes show up.

I've disconnected the plugs off of the controller, under the pasenger storage tray with no luck, checked all fuses, no luck.

Everything else in the car seems to work fine, windows all work in one touch mode and manually holding the switch, all lights work, horn works, the cart starts and runs fine.

I'm at a stand still, sure could use some suggestions!!!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

P.S. I had other codes, in which I'm not sure how old of codes they are.

Pin 3 had codes of 7, 13
Pin 11 had 12, 14, 2, 5, 6
Pin 12 had 13

All codes are cleared and still no roll bar or top...
