Thanks, I was considering removing the load from that circuit and running a switched relay, but found it hard to believe this vehicle had an issue with too much current flow on that circuit back in the day. You don't happen to have some times on how long it takes for your pwr top to go up or down do you? I know that time (or the speed of the motor) directly influences current flow... The faster the motor turns (true for any motor), the less time the current flow has to build and therefore the less amperage observed. That is why I am taking note about how my top up and down speed seem to be slower than expected and wondering if the motor is wrong for the given application or the motor bushings are dry and dragging. Note that if I had a bad connection (decreased voltage supply at the motor itself or ground), then current would be proportionately lower, but speed would still be affected. I captured the current ramp waveform from the motor and seeing ~40+ amps when the motor just starts turning and then it tapers down to about 25-30 amps, but the top and down speed are slower than I expect (might just be me being optimistic).
