Hey Folks, in this video I show you how to fix your Ford Mustang Convertible top if it won't come down or close. Most of the time this fix will be you need more fluid in your motors reserve. If you have already tried that then you want to check your Fuse Relay these are located in the front fuse box left of your engine.

Thanks for your help!! up relay is not working,,, changed positions of both and thee tpoo went up and is locked.Now I am a 70 yo great-grandma and oyur help was spot on.. tthens for the help for the elderly.. Every grnd neds a ustang convrtible!!

[@echocell6828]

Thank you so much bro you save my night 😅

[@ghsjays506]

Mine ended up being the fluid & the relay. Thanks man you saved me

[@pacoflores8226]

Good video verry helpfull

[@kennyplay5982]

Yes, fluid it was. Thx

[@TheTriplelman]

love the Christian fish on the dash thanks for the help, Bro

[@HorsepowerHouse]

By the way, a large syringe (with a tube attached) is much easier to both withdraw the old fluid from the elect motor as well as put new fluid in. Very easy and it can hold more.

[@thekingofkings6943]

David Harris true this guy must be new to convertible cars!!!😂😂😂

[@germanlara6645]

Can you use the fuse box of a hard top on a convertible ?

[@irate74]

Dont forget to ensure parking brake is on or else the top wont go down. Sometimes its the little things

[@jims162]

My lights turning signals and convertible stopped working today for about a half-hour, now everything works again. Think it's a relay?

[@timmyles314]

So are you saying that the roof uses fluid like hydrologic fluid??? i'm not a mechanic 😮🙄😵‍💫

[@bluebox212]

My son has a 2001 3.8 convertible and the top stopped working. He thought it was the switch because we had recently filled the fluid according to your video and all was fine for about 6 months. I checked the switch and it did feel dinky but it tested good with the tester. So I checked the relays and one of them was dead as a door nail and the other one tested good. However, I was not able to get the top to go up or down by switching the places of the good and bad relay. Does the top need both of the relays to work in this car? I should probably go ahead and buy 2 new relays instead of just the one I think. What do you think about the plan of attack?

[@opentheozon3]

Did you have any luck getting the top working?

[@ramonbadillo9147]

Witch brand of oil did you put in the reserve for the tarp

[@tupapisamson]

My problem is different. It moves up and down. I fellows the hydraulic fluid. Its moving very slow and doesn’t close all the way. I have to pull really hard on the locks to get them to connect

[@MrNerdelicious]

Mines the same way. What did you do to fix it?

[@aaronsukhnandan5277]

You might have air in the lines , try bleeding it out and refilling the fluid

[@TheMarkyGs]

Hello . I have a problem as well with my top .. both relays click in the up and down position .. the top does not move .. i then unplugged the top motor and ran power direct to the pump and it worked just fine . the top wont work with the switch just the relays click ? do you have any other idears on this problem . thank you

[@stevenvaldez3520]

TheMarkyGs my 93 foxbody just started doing the same thing. Did you figure this out

[@abdulelahhabib7745]

@@stevenvaldez3520 I had the same problem guys on my 07. I recommend checking the voltage on the motor if you don't see any voltage after the windows go down it means the circuits is not fully connected. For my case the base of the relay box needed replacement.

[@stevenvaldez3520]

Abdulelah Habib Hey AH. Ended up buying a new motor for the top from American Muscle. I think it was about 250 bucks. After 25 years the old motor had its ups and downs 😁

[@bobayagga2233]

Abdulelah Habib hey man , I’m having this issue now . What relay box are you referring to?? Inside the hood or inside the passenger footwell? Thank me ahead of time

[@garylamont898]

I have a 05 mustang I replaced the pump and it still does not work both Relays click the switch is working I check the parking brake switch it is good and the top does not work is it possible the relays could still be bad even though they are clicking?

[@Clips-go8hx]

My 07 mustang top is stuck and won’t close oil in motor is full so I need a new motor

[@kennyplay5982]

2002 mustang. The top starts going up, but can't go all the way. Motor is running. Will it work at all if the relay up is bad? Thx

[@carlosnj101]

needs fluid if it is moving slowly motor is good and relay is good

[@sonyatipton7264]

Hey my sis has an 04 stang 3.9 and wants to know if she can just do away with the hydraulics and just raise and lower the top manually

[@anthonykondor2234]

I would like to know that too, i have a 2000 ford mustang, my top is down and it’s been raining a lot lately

[@michaellee8660]

[@amandawhite4143]

I need help! Lol. I figured out why my top wasn't going down. It had the gray relay in there the 7016. Someone took all my relays out and put them back in but now I'm missing my other black relay..the 7016. I'm looking all over the internet and cannot find that exact relay anywhere! The only relays I see that look like these are for other cars. I even found one at advance auto online but then it says it does not fit my car. They look exactly the same...even have the same numbers on the relay prongs. Is there any difference? Does anyone know where I can buy this relay??

[@brendastanley5100]

Auto zone and orilly

[@itsliaa4223]

Is no one gonna comment that he got the 2 relays wrong? Its 31 & 33 not the black ones smh.

[@sergiogutierrez6091]

Mine has a plastic end you can see oil in it 2008

[@DracosManCave]

Which relay is the AC blower ?

[@thekingofkings6943]

Rashad Hall did you find it i also am looking for it!!!!!!

[@nazretsel]

Upon activating the switch to put the top down, all windows except right rear went down and the top did not go down. I turned everything off, came inside, saw this video and was going to check relays. Now the switch takes all windows down and the top went down as well. What's going on? I don't want to get caught in the rain and not being able to put the top back up.

[@shonvorreo]

Did you ever happen to figure out this issue? Currently going through the same thing.

[@guadalupeabundis6879]

The top doesn't go up. I cant hear the click either. I only hear the relay when going down. I tried buying new relays and still no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated

[@julisatorres4649]

Hi! I’m having the same issue did you ever find out how to fix this problem?

[@youngshroom9641]

@@julisatorres4649 did you?

[@deionford9215]

My back side windows won't even roll down neither could that be the relays as well?

[@lisasias5980]

My 1989 mustang conv top wont go up

[@jeffreymartinez8128]

So of it doesnt click that means the relays are bad ?

[@TreyGoose]

Yes

[@oglilp2fo]

NO! Can be a bad switch or no power to the relay. The coil on the relay might be bad and still click but a previous low voltage condition could have welded the contacts together. I would jump the power at the relay to check it's not the relays.

[@bobayagga2233]

oglilp2fo how do you jump the power at the relays? I’m having this same issue

[@oglilp2fo]

@@bobayagga2233 just connect power to the motor directly. Ground and positive. If the motor works you'll hear it "run". Just get a long cable to the battery and a short one to ground. I usually test my motor like the window motors at a dismantler with my battery from my 18v electric impact... not for the novice though lol
