My convertible top motors occasionally do nothing when I hit the switch. I suspect there is a relay somewhere. Can someone tell me where it is and how to identify, how to find a replacement, as well as any other suggestions. thanks.

Most convertibles I have had came with a circuit breaker on the firewall. It is in the engine compartment to the left of the master cylinder if you are standing in front of the car looking at the engine. It should have an orange wire feeding it from the fusebox and an output wire going back into the car to the top motor. It is a small box an inch or so wide 1/2" or so thick.
