Where is the 12V connection on a convertible top?
The 12V- connection is provided by the J-hook on the back of the convertible top. The 12V- connection gets passed along through the wire on the back of the latch to one of the terminals on the switch mounted on the pulldown motor. This 12V- connection is why you can see sparks sometimes when the J-hook snaps into the pulldown latch.
