Default top and windows

Did a search and couldnt find anything that I havent already done, so saying that ive checked the fuzes first they were blown under the hood so I replace then I check the switches ( its not locked btw ) to make sure they are plugged in softtop both window switches on drivers an pass doors.. Then I made sure the motors were pluged in, yup both top motors and both windows motors are plugged in replaced the top control module still nothng, went back to check the fuses and they are blown again.. Any place to start looking, I dont wanna pop to many fuses cause they are 5 bucks a pop

Also while taking the seats and rear plastics out to i found a what looks to be a head phone shaped plugin but its got a hole in the center of it like its a power wire for something.. its on the passanger side, pulled on it and it goes in behind the top motor and cant see were it goes from there....

Thanks in Adv.

You have a short somewhere. And it appears that someone did some aftermarket work on your car which introduces potential opportunities for shorts.

I'm assuming that your problem is that you're blowing the fuse that operates your ragtop.

The symptoms you describe aren't normal. You're going to have to do some digging to find out what is shorting out. Since it is not a common problem, it is likely a short resulting from some mods done to your car.

Good luck.

So I went back out today to look mor at that plug cause it got to dark last night, I got it out and its to a radar detector.. still had both ends on it.. I checked the wiring on the inside of the car and everything looks normal all the wires are in the looms and look like they are untouched..
However I dont know if this will add to the problem but I dont have the addon to my alpine deck to make the dash knobs work with the stereo.. im going to order one today maybe
