Ahhh, see my idiot light doesn't come on at all (even just turning the key to the "on" position. It used to in the past every time. I didn't notice this before the top failed to go up that day.

Is the microswitch inside the transmission replaceable by itself or am I looking at a replacement transmission? If it is replaceable by itself, would you happen to know the latest part number for it? Is it replaceable without having to worry about all the "sync" issues between left and right if I don't operate it during the replacement process?
