Thanks for all the advice.

I went to the stealership today, but the service guy had already gone. I went to parts and bought a new microswitch, just to try that. Same thing as before, so now I have an extra microswitch. Parts must be a lot more up here. The microswitch cost me CDN$58.00 (~US$52) and they want CDN$120 (~US$110) for a new relay. They had to order the relay from Atlanta.

When I press the dash switch for the top, I hear the relay clicking. I put my ear to the tonneau cover to see if I could hear anything from the motor. Nothing, not even a click.

In case you're wondering why I mentioned the dog, in one of the old threads on RennTech, one of the posts mentions his relay working after his dog took it.
