Default Cab top problem

The last time I electrically lowered/raised the top it worked fine. That was about five years ago. Been using it in "manual mode" since. Might sell in spring so go to try it out and doesn't work now. Since going to manual mode I did get the top replaced.

Motors do not turn on. Two microswitches on passenger side drive work. Two at top of windshield sound like they work (still need to check). Both relays in passenger side trunk are ok, but when trying to lower top only one trips and when raising neither trip. Windows do go down when trying to raise top.

Can't find the wiring diagrams for cab since www.cannell.co.uk page is down. Anybody have a link to another site. Do both trunk relays need to trip to either raise or lower?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Problem found. Was number one fuse. Didn't think any part of the cab circuit would work with that fuse blown. I guess its only a motor fuse.

The top is better as a manual top. Takes 1/4th the time to raise lower and you can do it on the move.
