I searced and saw a couple of similar posts, but none had answers. Not encouraging.
I've got a '91 LX 'vert that has a new top, new cables, partial new (used) top frame, new relays, new hydraulic cylinders and a new hose set. The only thing that hadn't been replaced in the past few months was the motor. It now appears to be dead. When I hit the top motor switch, the relays click, but nothing happens. This used to happen when the motor got hot, but this was from a cold start - first time in days I'd tried the top.
- It looks like I can replace the motor just from the trunk - has anyone done that? Do I need to pull the seats out, or is the trunk access enough?
- If the motor is dead, is the fluid in the motor still pressurized? Will it spray everywhere when I pull the hoses out?
- Where do I add the fluid?
Any help anyone can provide is appreciated.
