Can anyone tell me where the motor is for 1999 Z24 Convertible? Sometimes mine top works and sometimes not. Or I may get it down and then it won't come up or maybe it's up and won't go down. Any suggestions would be helpful.

most motors are under the hood

is that the same motor the powers the convertible top?

Oh wow, whatever you are trying to do, you need to take it to a mechanic.

Yup. There is a big chain that goes through the firewall and under the passengers seat and it works the top.

Answers such as this make me so proud I want to tell the whole world how proud I am of all you wonderful and helpful people. Intellegence really abounds in this forum.

Don your the person who started the thread. And if you were born in 1913 you probably should not be driving anyways. And as Forrst Gump said.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Egad

There's two motors... one on either side, behind the quarter panels. They are electrically linked (I can't remember if it's series or parallel though). The bypass switch in the trunk disconnects them.

I've seen them pretty cheap on Ebay... and readily available.

The engine is a motor. Hence the name motor vehicle.

an engine runs off of combustion and a motor runs off electricity so no there not the same and motor vehicle refers to the inventor of the original automobile.

Holy @!#$ you bumped a thread nearly two months old just to say that!

Engines use fuel to combust and do work. Motors use electricity. Wonder what happened to the OP, hasn't posted since this thread. 1913 birthday wow if that's true.
