convertible top questions

The stock switch on a 67-69 convertible has a circuit breaker attached to the side, but the power does come from the ammeter to that post. I like the relay arrangements that can be found in LeBaron convertibles as it takes a load off the switch. It is likely that either the pump/motor is bad or the cylinders. Check with the different convertible top companies online for the cylinders. The pumps have not changed in fifty years (certainly not through the 90s).
