Best Answer

There are two motors, right and left. The diagram can be seen at the Pontiac dealer parts counter on their computer. It seems fairly simple, and is accessed through the trunk. There is one item to check first. There is a bypass switch that allows you to raise and lower the roof manually in the event of power failure (which conveniently always happens just as the rainstorm starts when you have the top down). Make sure the switch is fully engaged, and has not bypassed the motor(s). List price on the Alldata website (Parts Zone) indicates approx. 800 dollars for a new one. You may want to see if there's an electric motor rebuilder in your area before purchasing a replacement. I'm still working on my '97. I will post more when I have all the answers!
