Title: voltage draw
Post by: oldgasser on 2013-03-31 07:40
Would anyone have the information on the voltage draw on the roof motors for the 1957 Retractable for I'm in the process of cleaning the roof switches & limit switches & would like to test the motors as I go.
Thank you for your time.
Cheers Ron.

Each motor in the top assembly has it's own circuit breaker.  It is on the "ground" lead near each of the motors after the plug that hooks them to the main harness.  Get a top manual. mine is temporarily "lost" (old timers) or I could tell you the ratings for each...but....if memory serves me right it seams like they are in the 10 amp range.
