Default top down AC switch

Can someone tell me where the switch is at that tells AC not to come on when top is down. Manual says if convertible top is down air conditioner will not come on. Trying to figure why AC will not come on.
Thank you.

The coupe vs. convertible climate control circuits ARE different but I can't find any such switch in the diagrams

What exactly does the manual say? Does it specifically mention a switch? Is your a/c inop at all times or only with the top down?

In '89 a change was made on convertibles to keep the a/c compressor engaged even with the climate control knob set to "off". This was to ensure that the fuel cooler recieved refrigeration.

The circuit was again modified in 1990 to include an electrical fuel temp switch in the circuit. I'm guessing this allows the compressor circuit to de-power with the controls set to "off" *unless* the fuel temp reaches a high enough level to close the switch.

Others will chime in with better info

Cheers
