Ok so i got a 96 mitsu eclipse spyder gs.......and my top wont go down anymore..it was workin great a week ago and now it doesnt work at all (its automatic) i checked all my fuses and everything and still no go...my driver side window motor is too week and wont roll the window up and down but that never effected anything befor so what could be wrong with it now? will it hurt my top motor if i manually bring it up and down?

 

can you hear the motor trying to move the top? did you do any work in trunk near the tails? there is an Auto\manual switch near the driverside taillight underneath the linner it turns off and on the motor for the topto me power or manual. maybe you hit it on acedient? I did that in my spyder and thought I broke my top untill I found the switch

 

i can hear a click, and all my windows go down (minus the driver-side one thats broke)...is that "switch" on 2g's too? i know you prolly dont have a pic but do you know where i CAN find a pic of its location...

i dont think i did any work in the trunk...my guy may have hit the switch when we were cleaning it out.. you say its under the carpet?

 

yes it is on the2Gs basically you know where your tail light is. well the switch is ounted on the same bracket that is holding in the driverside tail light youll need to just pull back the carpet to get to the taillight and you should see the switch and it should say Auto on on side of it

 

cool i'll do that in the AM....but does doing it manually hurt the motor? even if it IS on auto?

 

i never knew there was a manual switch for the top does it have it in my 97 gst spyder

 

Only one way to find out, lol.

 

I don't know if you already have this diagram, but I found it and thought I'd share it with you.

It's a google search, but the first link is what I wanted you to see. I couldn't get the link to work by itself, so I pasted the google link instead.
After you open the pdf, scroll down to the bottom and it gives the tops electrical diagram.

As for you driver's window...have you removed the door panel to make sure the wiring is still connected? Yeah, it's a stretch, but you never know. Anyway, once you get it open, press the driver's button and put your hand on the window motor to see if it's even humming. If it is, it's a good chance that the window tracks are clogged with dirt, keeping the window from operating. Do your windows go up and down slow? If so, the tracks are dirty.

 

the others go down fine, the motor hums wikid loud, just wont do anything..my mechanic said it was still on track...as for the button....i just went out and tried sifting through my trunk..is it saposed to be close to my spair tire?

 

i was searchin yahoo, and it said that the switch should be on the drver side under than panel that covers my taillights.....i was searching the floor/carpet
