Could you describe the noise when you try and put the top down? Does it sound like a motor trying to do something?

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like the upper microswitch built into the the latch goes into in the center of your windshield might be bad. When you do the unlatch procedure, do the windows go down?

Yes, the windows go down. At first I thought I heard the top motor then all I heard was some clicks. I searched Pelican for the latch right microswitch but I didn't see one for that year.

The motor was definitely trying to engage. Then it stops and I hear some clicking. I toyed with the latch a bit then tried the button again. Top is working again! But this doesn't diagnose the problem.
