The power top on my Catalina will not work. When I toglle the switch, nothing happens. I did a continuity test on the switch and circuit breaker and they appear to be ok. Before I start digging into the back of the car, can someone tell me where the power top motor is? The top is a "scissor" style.

Thanks,
Bob J

The top motor is mounted in the center of the metal panel behind the back seat.

Your problem is either the brushes in the top motor (easily fixed at the local generator shop) or the relay mounted next to the top motor (Around $15)

Also, check the ground first!
