Just went through a top not working nightmare. Anyway , make sure the connection for the handbrake is good. Do you get a brief sound from the top motor when you press the button? If so your switch should be ok, but start with those.

After that, you need to manually lower the top which requires taking off two control arms from the clam shell. There is a motor mounted on the trunk wall. You can pull the cable out from both sides. You should have about 3/4" cable showing on each end. Sometimes the housing stretches and the motor essentially does not have enough cable to grab.

That would be the easiest things to hope is wrong. I got alot of help and a great checklist how to with pics on Renntech.org.

Good luck!
