Actuators for soft top. 300 ZX convertible 1993

Hi Everyone. The actuators on my soft top have ceased working (all 3 of them ) and I would be grateful if anyone could direct me to a local supplier. At this moment Japan seems to be my only option. Failing that can anyone recommend an electronics boffin who could work at the component level? Regards  Geoff

I would be surprised if they have all failed at the same time. I would in the first instance check the electrics - fuses, switches, connectors and wiring.

To save you time here are the pages from the '94 and '96 US spec (LHD) FSMs which cover the convertible roof and lid. Both include the wiring diagrams,

the '96 has a later style of circuit depiction (also see page EL-163). An auto electrician should be able to work off these pages.

    Thanks for the info Andrew. I agree all 3 shouldn't have failed but they have been checked individually - by the garage!  It started out as a 'loose connection' but I fear something went wrong from there.

    The roof actuators won't work if the boot lid is open, is it possible the boot isn't registering its shut and stopping them working?
