2000 sebring convertible top control?

I have a 2000 sebring convertible. Would like one of the acc outputs to put the top up through the alarm. Anyone ever do this? Any ideas on how it needs to be done??? Also any info if I need a bypass mod. for this car?

thanks

Does the top work with or without the ignition? If it works without, how is the switch wired? Or the closing side of the motor? Do you have access to wiring diagrams, either a photo or a link?

do you want to be able to hold a button on the remote to close the top? or would you like this to happen automatically when you arm the car? either way is possible but it will probably be an easier install to just hold a button rather than automatic.

Top only works with ign on. There are 5 wires.

White--12v

Black-?

BLACK / YELLOW- 12v going up

RED / white- 12v going down

black-?

I used a test light to find this out. Im sure if I need 12v all thet time I can run a wire from the white one to a constant source. Thoughts????

I would only like to hit a button on the remote to close it. Its a pretty far walk to my car and my 17yo kid drives now. Already got it drenched once. Running to the car getting soaked and waiting for the top to go up sucks!!!

i wouldnt do anything else until you can get your hands on a digital meter instead of a test light. is the white wire 12v all the time or just with the ignition on?

Oh and I have the Avital 5303. here is a link. http://www.avital.com/Products/Product.aspx?path=Remote Start ampersand Security System&id=5000

12v only with ign on. I have a meter too.

Sorry 12v constant...not ign......

ok so if the switch is constant 12v but the top doesnt work with the car off probably meant that you might have to run wires directly to the motor. will the top still close right after you turn the ignition off? there could be a delayed ignition that only turns off after you open a door. a lot of cars have this function for the windows so it might be like that on your top too.
