Default 91 Corvette

The solenoids for the two latches that hold down my convertible top keep firing back and forth, independently. It makes a double popping sound. I thought maybe water had gotten in the latches, but it happens overnight in my garage as well and I have to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Any ideas of what maybe wrong, Is it the release button, or a computer problem?

I had the same problem with mine and found a loose wire on my hatch release button in the drivers door panel but there are several things that can cause it, if you had the door panels off recently that could be a sign also check the hatch release in the console gb to make sure somethings not hitting the button, just some ideas.

I replaced my hatch release switches in the doors. You can get them at Ecklers for about $15 each. http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1663
