Help with convertible lift system

coffeedart67 said
Just sent my switch in for a second rebuild(5 years since first rebuild).this is his response "What I want you to see it the amount of arcing occurring. This switch is really getting hot while in operation. I would inspect the wiring terminals on the switch and motor side. I believe there is something causing a restriction of the DC current.". What do I check? Is there some tests I can do to the motor? When going up or down it does kind of stop for a split second. I do have a relay kit coming.
Thanks

Mine ended up being the motor was drawing too many amps and caused the switch to overheat. (I did have to reground everything also which helped a little bit, but the main culprit was (for me) the motor.) after a salvage yard motor out of a 97 mustang was used amp draw went down upon stating the motor to raise the top it started @ 15amps and quickly underload went to 30 amps, man that made my fuse in the harness get warm and trip. The new "ish" motor drew 6 amps and went to 14 full load @ latch position well under the 30 amps in the resettable fuse in the harness . I still have not wired in the relays since I want to finish up all my wiring before the new top and interior goes on.
