Soft top control module?

[spinedoc]

Hey guys, having some soft top problems here. Had my hard top on for about a month and decided to take it off, rode downtown went to park, put the top up and halfway up it crapped out.

Took it to my indie and he got it to go up by bypassing the relay, or something like that. He says he is pretty sure its the soft top control module.

OK, so where do I buy this module? I will call the dealer monday, but already know their price will be exhorbitant.

Thanx

Hows the voltage when you operate the top? Does it drop to the point where there isnt enough to run the top mechanisms? Did you try to resync the windows and rollbar?

Beckmann Technologies is well respected in this market.
Click "Browse Our Catalog" and see if your controller is listed.

I think they will sell retail to anyone, but I believe they have a wholesale pricing structure that will allow your shop to sell it to you and make a little in the process.

Good Luck!

I would seriously check the down window detection switches in each door first! The top WILL stop in the vertical position if it detects that the windows are not fully down...

Much easier and inexpensive resolution - happened to me BTW.

Thanks Lea. My indie says he got the top up by bypassing the relay. He says that now the top does not move at all, open or close, but the windows do go up and down with pressing the red top button.

Beckmann has them for $864, a big chunk to be sure.

Does the 1-touch "express" down feature work?
