Re: 1956 Power Top Limit Switch Mechanicals
Gary, I found the problem. The switches were all fine and wired correctly. It was the wiring to the solenoids that was wrong. I followed the wiring when I got the car here and recorded it and re-connected the same way. It was wrong. They had the Top cover solenoids and Soft Top solenoid wires reversed. I just swapped out the 4 wires and it's all set. Works quite well. I didn't time it but i guess it's about 20 seconds. That's what the book says it takes.
I have one sticky limit switch in the well, the "top=down" long arm toggle switch. It sticks down and doesn't return. It needs a little more TLC, just a spring adjustment inside. Then the entire system will be fully functional.
A video is loading on Youtube of the testing and operation after fully re-installed on the car.

Thanks for everyone's help.
