Mitsubishi Repair: 97 eclipse turbo convertible auto, spyders, convertible top


Question
my convertible top suddenly stopped going up/down - I can hear the motor
running - I checked the fuse and it seems fine.  Where is the motor located and
does it just need to be cleaned?

Answer
Amy,
I'm not too familiar with the Eclipse Spyders, but I believe motor that controls the top is located in the trunk, near the left wheel wheel.  But beyond a faulty motor, you should have your control linkage and cables inspected for any kinks or areas where it is getting stuck or detached.
Good luck!
