Good afternoon all,
My neighbor purchased an Allante early last year and since then I've been trying to help him get it back on the road (he's in his early 70s so it's hard for him to work on it)
Long story short I've got her all running except for this one annoying thing. The pull down motor on the back keeps cycling back and forth and never "holds" the top down. It will pull it down tight but then just cycle right back up.
I've read this article several times http://www.allantesource.com/pdmotors.htm but with no real success. Is there anything else I could try.
This is on a 92 or 93 Allante perl white with a black cloth top. In the article it says you can manually make the motor go up and down but I've yet to find the manual switch. It seems like the motor has a failsafe that doesn't allow it to run with the back cover open so that I can watch it. Is there an override for this somehow?
Thanks
