Trouble shooting  (84)
dlindner@mac.com


I just worked on the SkyTop electrical to see why the test light I
attached to the motor connection would momentarily provide power then
nothing.  The relay on the circuit board  would energize and hold.
Well apparently that is the problem as the relay breaks power to the
motor.  I disabled one of the leads that engages the coil on the
relay and power is now provided to the motor.  My guess is that this
will loose the intended overload protection of the circuit board.
For now I will reassemble the SkyTop and at least have it working.
If anyone can confirm or add input please let me know.  It is my
Sunday project.

My guess now is that there is a malfunction is in the protection part
of the circuit itself, thinking there is an overload.  I noticed the
later SkyTops (the ones with the motor mounted in the trunk and cable
driven) do not have the circuit board as in the style in my 84.

OTHER INFORMATION:

The SkyTop electrical circuit board is located under the dash just to
the right side of the radio.  I have a schematic and other drawings
furnished thanks to Mr. SkyTop, Ernie Wolf (also a member of the
Gateway Chapter).    
The schematic shows and Ernie Wolf indicates a 20 amp. fuse was
furnished to Avanti with SkyTop but I find it not to be in the
system.  Protection is shared with the power window 20 amp. fuse in
the fuse block.
