I ran a search and got some helpful info, but nothing exactly on point. Here is as much as I know:

Parking break is engaged with parking break light on
Windshield top connector lowers both windows when pressed
When pressing convertible button on console, no motor noise at all
convertible light does not come on

Few more things:

This has been a bit of an ongoing problem. For a few weeks, the top would not come down about 30% of the time. However, sometimes it would come down like a minute or so later if I was stopped at a light. Now, though, it does not come down at all. Tried about the last dozen times I've gotten in the car. No sun.

While I was able to get the top down, top never had a problem going back up. This makes me think it might be a problem with the latch or possibly even the top down part of the button? Fuses?

I am a novice at all of this. I don't have great instincts with this type of stuff. Apologies if this is an easy fix or I am missing something obvious. Thanks a million for any type of info.
