Hey Folks, in this video I show you how to fix your Ford Mustang Convertible top if it won't come down or close. Most of the time this fix will be you need more fluid in your motors reserve. If you have already tried that then you want to check your Fuse Relay these are located in the front fuse box left of your engine.

    By the way, a large syringe (with a tube attached) is much easier to both withdraw the old fluid from the elect motor as well as put new fluid in. Very easy and it can hold more.

    My son has a 2001 3.8 convertible and the top stopped working. He thought it was the switch because we had recently filled the fluid according to your video and all was fine for about 6 months. I checked the switch and it did feel dinky but it tested good with the tester. So I checked the relays and one of them was dead as a door nail and the other one tested good. However, I was not able to get the top to go up or down by switching the places of the good and bad relay. Does the top need both of the relays to work in this car? I should probably go ahead and buy 2 new relays instead of just the one I think. What do you think about the plan of attack?

    I need help! Lol. I figured out why my top wasn't going down. It had the gray relay in there the 7016. Someone took all my relays out and put them back in but now I'm missing my other black relay..the 7016. I'm looking all over the internet and cannot find that exact relay anywhere! The only relays I see that look like these are for other cars. I even found one at advance auto online but then it says it does not fit my car. They look exactly the same...even have the same numbers on the relay prongs. Is there any difference? Does anyone know where I can buy this relay??

    Upon activating the switch to put the top down, all windows except right rear went down and the top did not go down. I turned everything off, came inside, saw this video and was going to check relays. Now the switch takes all windows down and the top went down as well. What's going on? I don't want to get caught in the rain and not being able to put the top back up.

    NO! Can be a bad switch or no power to the relay. The coil on the relay might be bad and still click but a previous low voltage condition could have welded the contacts together. I would jump the power at the relay to check it's not the relays.
