Default Mkay so what's this pneumatic canister?

Ok so some of you have read my post from before about my top all of the sudden not working. All the connections are fine and the fuse is good. When I push the button this cyliner clicks but nothing happens. Could it be out of whatever it needs to be refilled with?

Also some one told me that it could possibly mean that my battery was going which I originally thought might be the case, that it might stop working since it uses so much power before the battery light came on. Anyone experienced this before?

That is ur pump that pushes the top up and down. is there any other noise besides the clicking? you can first make sure there is plenty of fluid, fil it with atf fluid. there should be a rubber plug on top of it, thats where it gets filled at. If you only hear a clicking noise and nothing else there is a good chance your pump is not working or you have a elcectircal issue involving the pump.

every now and then my top clicks from the relay by the pump. i grab the pump and shake it while i push the top button then it works fine. but i also have the back seat out so i can do this while i am in the driver seat.
