Convertible Vehicles - Will 98+ Vert Switch Work On 93-97

I switched the console in my 96 TA with a 98+ console. It didn't have the vert switch with it, but I finally got one. But the old switch had only 4 pins in the back for the connector to plug into, and the new style switch has 7 pins (4 in one row, 3 in another).

My only guess is that the extra pins are for something to stop the top from raising when the car is moving or something like that. Anyone know if I can put some connectors on the individual wires on my 96 and plug them into the 4 pins that are in one row on the new switch?

My only guess is that the extra pins are for something to stop the top from raising when the car is moving or something like that.

I can assure you, the pins aren't to stop the top from going up while you are moving, unless it is tied to the speed. I have put mine up and down a number of times while the car is moving, my car is a 2000. Granted never while I was going any faster than say 25, 30 at the most.

Beyond that bit of info, I bring nothing to the table for you.
