Safety Restraints: By factory default, this relay requires the vehicle to be completely stopped with the handbrake fully engaged before it powers the convertible top motor. Troubleshooting & Common Issues If your convertible top suddenly refuses to budge, this control unit is a primary suspect. Failure Symptoms: Total loss of power to the roof motor, or intermittent stalling halfway through an open/close cycle. The Handbrake Hack: Enthusiasts frequently discuss modifying this exact part. By opening the casing and bending or clipping Pin 18 (the speed sensor signal), drivers can trick the system. This popular workaround allows the roof to operate while the car is rolling at low speeds without being anchored by the handbrake selling as pictured.more than welcome to pick up at shop in butler pa & save shipping.052326KT
