one of the main culprits of the top all of a sudden not working is due to the ebrake switch. And especially since your ebrake light won't come on, but your ebrake is still operational, I'm 99% positive it's your ebrake switch.

Happened to me too, don't be alarmed.

What you can do that might fix it temporarily is to pull your ebrake handle up, and push it back down. fast and quick multiple times. and your ebrake light might come on. worked for me.

it's roughly a $20 part to change out that's underneath your center console cubby, easy fix.
