Ok, here's what has gone on so far. We just bought this car not too long ago. It appears to be an all stock 87 GT convertible. When we brought it home, the top was in working order although the top is tattered. We replaced the gauge cluster as a PO installed some cheap @$$ white overlays which weren't correct. We ended up replacing the headlight switch and connector at that time as the wiring to the switch was all individually plugged in. Now, where the problems lie are the dash lights only work when the interior lights are turned on with the dimmer and the top no longer goes down. At this time, I am only working with the top as I am trying to take the driver's rear interior panel out to be able to fix the window which is stuck down. The top motor sounds like it is working to raise the top, but not to lower it. So far, I have tried swapping the relays and pulled the switch from the dash pod. Swapping the relays did not change anything, the motor reacted the same with either relay in either place. I have looked at the wiring diagram and am a little stumped right now. With the key on, I am getting about 8-10 volts on a purple/red wire at all times and 8-10 volt on a solid purple wire only when the switch is activated to raise the top. I haven't tried swapping the relays back yet to verify if I indeed have a bad relay or if I have something else going on. Another question I have is there are 2 wires within the connector at the switch, but the switch has 3 blades? Am I missing a wire somewhere? The diagram doesn't show a 3rd wire, but it has me questioning WTH this blade is? Anyway, I hope this explains what I am running into well enough. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated as I absolutely hate wiring although it is a necessary evil. Now back to the car and see if I can figure anything out. Thanks for any input!!
