Most likely, your drive cables have streched or broke and are not engaging the transmissions correctly. Luckily, the drive cables are not very expensive and are easy to replace. Mike Fokke's site has a lot of great info on convertible top problems.
I the mean time, reach back between your seats and disconnect the vinyal canopy below the rear window. With the canopy out of the way, you can access your top motor. The motor will have a plastic cover over it that you can remove. You will see a drive cable coming out of each side of the motor. There is a metal slide clip that holds each cable in place. Remove the clips and pull each of the cables out.
With your top unlatched at the windshield, connect a cordless drill to one of the cables as SLOWLY operate the drill to see if your top starts to move. If it moves, you can use the drill on each cable, a little at a time, to open the top and clamshell to the service positon, or open all the way. Once the top is in at least the service position, use a pry bar (see owners manual) to pop the top actuation rod on each side of the top. This will allow you to manually open/close your top while you determine the exact cause of your top issues.
