Hi, I’m new to the forum as well as new to retractables. Living in Germany I bought a ‘59 Skyliner a few months ago in the US which arrived with me 2 weeks ago. While the roof worked ok before I bought it trouble started when I first tried it out. The roof retracted ok and on reerecting the roof locking motors didn’t stop running (as long as I operated the switch) and the tray and deck lid didn’t close.

After some reading of the shop manual I learned that one (or some) of the roof position switches must have been misadjusted. I uninstalled the rear bench to get access to the relays and powered the roof unlocking relay with the help of a cable. The rear roof locking motor worked and lifted the rear of the roof by an inch, but the front motor didn’t work.

Two possibilities now. Either the motor’s gone south or the circuit breaker has disengaged permanently. This results in me having to manually raise the roof, which procedure is described in the shop manual. Since I’d like to be prepared with spare parts I’d appreciate if someone could provide me with the amperage of all circuit breakers linked to the retractable motors and a source where to buy them.

I know there’s one circuit breaker in line between where the current flows into the retractable system and the neutral switch, rated at 45 amps. This circuit breaker is located under the dash on the driver’s side. There are 6 more circuit breakers involved in the system, linked into the ground line of each of the 6 motors operating the retractable system. The shop manual doesn’t list the amperage of the 6 circuit breakers in the ground lines and I don’t know where to get the values from.

Maybe one of you more knowledgables can help me.

Thanks!
