Going through the EXACT same thing currently and trying to eliminate switches little by little. I replaced the one under the handbrake already and that fixed my "PARK" light on the gauge issue. But no dice on the top going up or down consistently.

I have a 2000 so I'm guessing I have the "B Version" transmissions as well. I unhooked the transmission cables from the motor on both sides and when I hold the switch down, the motor continuously spins like it should (no dead spots or hesitation). This is a good thing right?

My next step will be the microswitch above the rearview mirror. My top light doesn't go on at all, even in fully-closed position. That's gotta mean something right?

EDIT: I'm going to try to stop by the dealership tomorrow to get the microswitch above the mirror, but I'm a little confused still on what "Version" I have. Being a 2000 makes it even more difficult. I don't have the little "lever switch" thing on the top of the motor under the clamshell. I DO have the dual-row looking switch above the mirror though. Every reference I see to this switch though says 97-99!

97-99 - 986.613.795.02 (http://www.************************************************************************************.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=9045) looks like my switch, but will that work on my year model?
