I have all 3 bookss for 68, CSM, Fisher Body and Assembly Manual. I cant locate any diagram or schematic for the convertible stuff. Is there a hot wire right out of the fuse block on the engine side to the relay and the orange wire to the top switch off the other side of the relay? Or am I way off base.
Thanks for any help!

For my 72 it is in the body manual. I missed it several times, since it was mixed in along with the power window and door locks.
Doesn't hurt one more look...

Thanks Rob, I will look AGAIN! By the time I get this car put together, I may have all three books memorized.

Tom,

I'm not sure if this is correct but mine goes from the hot on the horn relay, to the breaker on the firewall, to the switch.

I'm going to upgrade it with relays because 68-69 switches don't last long with the amp draw from the top motor

edit: Just looked again. Assembly Manual page 12-131

I just re-read the post....

If you haven't figured the wire colors by tonight I'll check for you. I can tell you the wire from the relay to the breaker and breaker to the block is black (yeah, I know, you'd think it was a ground but from the wiring diagram that appears to be correct)

Mike Can you tell me what you used for the replacement convertible top relay and what ever else you replaced in that path?

I'm still using the original circuit breaker set up and haven't had a problem


I emailed you a couple wiring diagrams if you want to go that route
