Jerry, this is an older request, but I will try to help trouble shoot it for you. First, check the fuses for the top. Your manual should show you where it is, or which one it is, but the fuse box is in the passenger cabin. If that is okay, then you'll have to remove the switch and unplug it. With a small wire "jumper" jump the terminal at the wiring harness. One is hot, the other, usually the black wire, is ground. Does the top motor activate? If yes, it is the switch (most common) if not, it could be the motor. Unless you are a very good DIY'er, this is as far as you might go without experienced help. Wires could be pinched, the motor could be bad, or the pump might be dead. Lots of things from that point on, (mice chewing wires- frequent for a car stored over a winter). The switch is the most replaced, tough. Pray for the easy fix! Let us know what you do to resolve this (or what you did to resolve it back in March 2014)

Sienna. Where can I find marks 8, 9 and 10 marks on timing belt?

position 8 is showing you where the timing mark on the head is in relation to the timing mark on the sprocket--so it is a diamond cast into the head that will line up with 2 marks on the sprocket
for 10 there is a single bar on the head that will line up with a single bar on that sprocket
9 will be a dot on the sprocket that will line up with a series of dots in a line on the housing
belts do have marks as they can be fitted ant where except for the arrow on the back which has to be fitted in the direction the belt will run
the engine is an intereference engine and that means that if you ,move the crank or cam shafts with out first letting the valve adjust right off ,you will bend valves if anything is moved

I am replacing the power antenna mast on a 2005 hyundia sonata...I have turned the radio on but cant get the cable of the portion of the old broken mast to come out

You need to remove the top cap cover, this is the ring on the top of the antenna that holds it to car then use some small needle nose pliers to pull the rest of the mast, if theres a broken part stuck inside then you will have to remove the ant and open the side to remove the rest of it, then reasmeblt unit and put back on car then slide new one in and have someone turn radio off as you feed ant in, if it doesnt go all the way in then turn radio on but dont let it come out then turn it back off fast and feed the rest of ant in, once its in place install the top cover ring to lock it in place. hope this helps.

Check the stepping motor that move the doors, it is the little white box at the bottom of the environmental station it opens and closes the door, when you remove it you can hook it up to the harness and operate the temp control see if the motor turns, if not verify power at the harness connector if there is power there then replace the motor. Hope this helps, let me know.

Convertable top does not go up

If the motor is only moving top one direction, either the switch is bad or the motor is bad. You can use an ohmmeter or volmmeter to test the switch. Place meter probes on the wiring that attaches to motor. Now press the switch in both directions. See if there is power in both directions from switch. If not the switch is bad. If you do get power both directions, than the motor will need to be replaced.
