Convertible Top motor - direct battery connection
Guys,
While i have my car in pieces i have the need to lower the top (so i can weld and work on the windshield). The dash is completely off and all the switches are disconnected. Can i just attach the Red or Yellow to the + of a car battery (while grounding -) and would that work the top motor? or is there a risk that i could smoke the motor? i would think the top motor would only draw the current it needs but jsut curious if anybody else has attempted this?
Once i get the car back together i will post the work as i discovered many nuances with my redo.
Thanks,
Ed
