| RE: roll bar and soft top not working 1992 300 The turn signal lamp in the cluster is controlled by combination relay module at the rear of the main fuse box. It might have a defect.
The leaking fluid is surely a hydraulic cylinder. They are inexpensive and easy to replace yourself.
I would run diagnostics on the top controller. The code retrieval method for the top controller as described here works for cars produced through 12/93. A similar procedure can be used for cars produced from 1/94 through 8/95.
The diagnostics are wired to sockets of the car's main "diagnostic connector", X11/4. Early cars with continuous-fuel injection have 16 sockets, while later models have 38 sockets. Your car should have 38. On the 16-socket connector, the top control system diagnostic is socket #10, while on the 38-socket connector it is #21.
Codes must be read one at a time. That is, you ask the system to issue a code, you read the code, you ask for another code, and so on. You ask a particular system for a code by electrically shorting the diagnostic socket to ground for 2 to 4 seconds. A second or two after the short is removed, a series of electrical pulses will appear at the socket. The number of pulses corresponds to the number of a code. The ignition must be switched-on for this process.
There are many ways to view the pulses for counting and reading codes. The simplest method is to watch the lamp inside the top switch flash. This is possible because one side of the lamp is wired to the diagnostic socket for the top control system.
Once you have read all of the codes, you may wish to go back and erase them. They are erased individually one at a time. To do this, read a code, wait a few seconds, and then short the diagnostic socket to ground for 6 to 8 seconds. |
