Brought my sl to mechanic to help me replace some hydraulics for top.
long story short. he messed it up, never fixed hydraulics. and pretty much threw his hands up in the air saying he could not fix.
and now the seats and the locks don't work. I checked all the fuses
but was wondering if there are any wiring diagrams for seats and for lock mechanisims.

where and what was the problem with the hydraulics?

 

I had done a replacement of all but the two large hydraulic cylinders for my top myself. those were the two he replaced, but after they were replaced, the top would still not open and close right. have to do everything manual, looks like maybe one more is leaking (it was rebuilt). Since I have recieved it back from the mechanic after he threw his hands up. The Vacuum pump does not seem to be running, the seats do not move, and the control panel does not light. The mechanic said that there was voltage into controll, just none out. I am thinking that this is way too much cooincedence that all this stopped working, and that he must of unknowingly broken a ground or unhooked a connector some where

was hoping someone would have a wiring diagram I could follow that would point me to some checkpoint, or at least have some advice as to how to troubleshoot

thanks for anything you can provide

 

to start, if you haven't, check all the connections at the top controller in the bottom of your rear passenger side storage compartment. how is or was the top acting? check the 30 amp strap type fuse under the screws in the trunk. they can sometimes look good, but burnt under the screw heads. www.alldata.com will have the diagrams
