1992 convertable deck lid problem
I have a problem with the convertible deck lid, it continues to release and close even when the button(s) are not pushed. Could it be a faulty button? Any input would be appreciated as I have had to disconnect the battery to stop it.

When I had my '92 convertible, I could easily hear the latch release when I pushed the button. It made a sort of "thumping" sound. Is yours just coming loose or can you hear the latch mechanism working? It could be something as simple as adjusting the latch mechanism!! It could be that the latch itself is shorting out inside so a replacement latch may be in order.

To defeat it just remove the 'hatch' circuit breaker in the fuse box.Disconnecting the battery I'd think is extreme! Do your courtesy lights function correctly?
