Convertible top won't go back up, can you help?

My convertible top to my 2001 Ford Mustang convertible won't go back up. I already purchased a Mustang manual, but there was no information regarding the convertible top in it. Is there a manual specifically for the convertible top? What advice can you provide? Is it the motor or just a fuse? Please advise.

IT is probably a fuse. Does it work at all? my mustang had a busted cylinder and only 1 side would go up. If it doesnt work at all then check your fuses. With no manual you will have to use a flashlight and shine on them and see if one is blown. IF they all look good then I would go buy a testlight for about $10 and manually check the fuses for power. It oculd be the motor, however that will cost you several hundred dollars and that is if you install it yourself.

Testimonial: "Thank you so much. I have a friend checking fuses now, not sure. The top would still work to go down, but would give me a problem to go back up.THANKS"

My 1993 Ford Mustang convertible won't go up.But the motor is coming on.Also it will go down thou

There must be a hydraulic fluid leak somewhere. Check to see if there is oil filler cap on your hydraulic pump located in the trunk compartment. Fill if necessary with just enough fluid to raise the top. The reason it won't go up is cause it is lacking pressure from the low fluid

Top on my 2001 mustang wont go up

Mine wouldn't go up for a while and it was because I had a bad switch. Also check the motor and the wiring harness. It might go down because the connections are good but the opposite might be because the connections aren't good.

Convertable top will go down but will not come back up.

I had the same problem with my 95 GT. You may have a leak in your system (motor, lines, cylinders). It seems there just isnt enough fluid to push the top up. I think Ford used the same system for 01 also. I had to replace the hydraulic cylinder that pushes the top up. My fluid leaked out because one of the cylinders was bad. This may be the problem. Located the motor and look for leaks.
