How to operate covertible top with motor running??
#1

Never understood the logic behind having to shut down the motor when putting the Cab top up or down. Anyone know the mod required to make it work with the engine running?



Thanks!

Not trying to muddy any waters here--but pull relay G21, find pin 6, marked on bottom, put about three coats of clear nail polish on the pin, let it dry between coats. If for whatever reason you want to 'undo' the mod--simple nail polish remover takes care of it.

Thanks Ken - that's a great idea - I don't like clipping relay lugs and if I don't have to bend it either, that is a bonus! I'll try your idea. Thanks!



Follow up - just did the mod - I ended up bending the thin #6 lug over and covering it with a little bit of heat shrink. I didn't bother to paint it as it is such a narrow copper lug - maybe 3/32" wide, so it was easy to bend with a finger.



Now the cab top goes up and down with the motor running!!! Just great!! Thanks to Eric and everyone for the info!
