Cab top not latching ?

[Chuck996]

My car sat for about two months and battery went dead. Charged my battery -- put up my cab top - now the top latches and unlatches and back windows will not go up. Front windows work fine. Do I need to have my top recalibrated?

Appreciate any help.

Try running it through two complete cycles. If it is not normal after that then you will likely need a re-calibration.

I have seen this happen......usually the microswitch on the top center latch. Try pushing the latch in as it engages (help it in).

my 99 cab engine is out and car has been sitting for 5 months,have on a trickle charger but battery got a little weak (playing radio).

Now, when I turn on key I get the "rear spoiler is up" symbol in dash( it is down). Press the top down button and windows drop, top unlatches, rear top skin lifts fully and then ...nothing, top malfunction starts to flash. micro switch or will weak battery or both cause this ? ideas ?

thanks

A weak battery will cause all kinds of anomalies.

If the battery is over 4 years old - replace it. You'll be saving yourself from being stranded sometime soon.

If the battery is newer then have it both load tested (out of the car) and have the specific gravity of each cell tested. Replace it if these do not pass with flying colors.

Thanks.I'll have load tested but replacment is probably best approach

I had exactly this problem - it was the plastic cover on the centre latch which had broken and come loose therefore not making the switch properly.Cheap fix - just glue the plastic cover back on.
