I need help!
My 91 944 Turbo Cab has lost its window lowering function associated with open/close of the power top. You know every time when we open/close the top the window will automatic lower by 2 inches. But it doesn't work any more. Other than that, the windows work normally. So does the power top. Could someone tell me what is missing/has gone wrong with my car?

probably the window regulating relay(s) - they are located in the passenger footwell below a footrest next to the DME

see page 59 and 60 of the cab top manual

Thanks, Flash!
But I only have the 944 cab top manual it only talks about the alignment and setting of the top....are they different?
Anyway I crawled under the dash on the passenger side (left side, as mine is RHD) and I can see three relays hanging there. Two short/aluminum on both sides number 944.615.119.00 and one long/black/plastic 944.615.122.00 in the middle. Are they what the manual referring to?

i only have the 944S2 cab top manual for 89/90 - that's where i got it - pretty sure it's all the same though

yes, those are the ones to which they refer - i have no idea which is which - one is the delaying relay, the others are the regulators - if i had to guess, i'd say the tall one is the delaying relay, which is the one that waits to raise the windows for a bit while closing the top

Isn't it under the carpeting on the floorboard and not under the dash?

not according to the manual - i used the terminology they used - i've never actually seen the pod, but since i have that section apart right now, i can take a look later today

ok - crawled around under there - had to remove the floorplate to gain access to the DME area - the relays are mounted on the back of the DME in the 968

still no idea which is which without going through the diagram though

Thanks to all!
I found it in the Porsche parts catalogthe. For the tall one it said slow-action relay. And yes there was a bracket to hold all 3 relays. But somehow it was gone in my car (blame the previous owner).
Tonight I will go play with it and see if it is the porblem with the relay or just a wire is broken from the power top switch.....

I seldom posted as I searched thru the site I got all the answers from your folks before I asked!
Back to the relay thing I need help again:
For normal type with 85/86/87/30 terminals I will give a voltage to 85/86 and hear the "click" and test if 30/87 close.
But this time the terminals are 87/15/30/31. I gave voltage to each pair and I tried all 6 combination but no "click" at all. Is the relay gone already or it should be tested differently?
Sorry that my knowledge in the e-thing is almost zero.
Your kind advise please.
