I have a 1989 Iroc Convertible. I'm not a car buff. I bought the car with the electronic latches for the convertible latch top and both tonneau cover latches working. Now they don't. I was wondering if there is a way for this to be fixed. Where is the electrical box for these mechanisms? Would it be a fuse be, is there a fuse? Also my boyfriend took the cotter pin for the middle latch apart to try and close it once. How do I put this back together with the wire mechanism? Pictures would be very helpful with instructions. I don't care as much about the electrical part, but I need that cotter pin thing to work in order to "catch" the top. Thanks a bunch!

Im in the same boat with the cotter pin puzzle. Some one help us out!
come on vert guys

 

heres the latch pics hope it helps my electric dosent work either

 

I think I answered my question about the latch. an earlier thread had a pic with a red camaro's latch that looked like it would help. look there. but i still want to know about the electrical part

i found that the saftey switch that doesn't allow the tonneau to open if the trunk is comes unplugged on mine a cple of time already maybe check that after u check middle switch for power, in the trunk below the lift motor behind courtseylight it is a white connector if i remember... there is also a wiring diagrahm on here somewhere for all of it btw i think it also has to be in park to open correct me if i'm wrong

 

he said this

"The convertables used the hatch release wiring/circuit for the tonneau. The schematic is attached. Basically if you have a manual transmission the parking brake needs to be set or if you have an automatic it needs to be in park or neutral."
