There are three microswitches in the top system. One is behind the hook near the rearview mirror. Another is in the emergency brake. A third is near the motor ahead of the third brake light.
To swap out the one by the rearview mirror, pop off the alien eye smoked plastic covers and you'll see some large T-hex screws to remove and then just follow your nose.
The one in the e-brake is not hard, but time consuming. You must remove the center console and there's something like 13 screws that hold it down, including some hidden ones under the oddments tray floor and under the ash tray and a couple behind the bat wing at the base of the console.
The center hook switch (rearview mirror one) must not be activated and the handbrake one must be activated for the top motor to work.
The third microswitch at the back turns the light on the dash out so you know when to stop pushing the button.
If your hook is undone, you can poke your finger up there and click it a few times and push it in deeper than the hook and that might show you a short in that one.
Also try pulling up a little harder on your ebrake handle to actuate that one.
If the fuses are fine and the motor is not functioning, you should troubleshoot these microswitches. Both go out on our cars.
