Ed,
Welcome to the wonderful world of Bricklins.
For starters, unless you are interested in showing the car with AACA, I
strongly suggest that you convert to air doors. For reasons - if you
haven't read it - check out:
http://bricklin.org/TechCentral/TCFAQ.htm
If the "relay that Claude was talking about isn't there, check under the
car, between the 2 boxes - battery & hydrolic control panel, there is supposed
to be a circit breaker there. The other possibility is that the hydrolic
pump gave up the ghost.
The club (Bricklin International - www.bricklin.org) sells reprints of
the parts manual and the shop manuals. I strongly suggest that you join.
They have a great quarterly magazine geared mostly to the technical side
of the car so you or your mechanic can keep them on the road.
