Ok. I've done more searching. This post from renntech (second post down) is most on point. My 1998 Boxter Top wont go up or down - 986 Boxster Top Issues and Solutions - RennTech.org Forums

Fuses: Checked both. Didn't clean or anything but both look good.

Switch: That post made it seem as if it was simple to pull the switch out of the console. It did not seem so to me. All I ended up doing was rocking the switch and fearing that I would break it. Any thoughts?

Control module: Will check this tomorrow possibly. I access this area by removing the panel under the steering wheel? Dumb question I know, but it's not 100% clear.

I haven't approached the motor yet because the convertible light does not come on, so I'm assuming it's a problem on the console/switch end. Does this sound like a good idea or do I eventually need to check the motor?
