Randall,

The switch makes sense. I could pull it out and test it with a multimeter. I could also bypass it by shorting the wires with jumpers...

The problem definitely seems to be something electrical... something not making good contact.

I'd lean more toward the top switch than the parking brake switch, since the brake dash light has been coming on, and was on solidly when the operation of the top was failing. And the center latch switch seems to be working... if I trip it with my finger, the door windows start raising. Come to think of it, I threw on my Red Clip when I stopped with the top down, and the windows raised then, too.

I'll take any more ideas and try to test what I can during the week. Thx!
