1998 986

I’m trying to figure out if I need a new micro switch, or what exactly is going on here. I disconnected the convertible top transmission from the top itself, to diagnose this.

When I hold down the open top button, it spins like normal, and when the micro switch is manually pushed down, it spins a few extra rotations and then stops like normal.

However, when I hold the close top button, even when the micro switch is clicked, it continues to spin. Also, for both directions, if the micro switch is pressed, it starts only spinning in 1 direction, regardless if I click open or close.

Anyone have similar issues, or know how to fix this?

Thanks!
