My top is stuck in the down position.

Is there an FAQ thread or website on this? When I press the close top button, nothing happens and I do have the ebrake pulled..

Thanks

Couple of things.

E-brake pulled, but do you have the E-brake light on the dash? Could be the micro-switch. Try working the E-brake several times until you get the light.

Also, could be the micro-switch in the windshield header. Take a pencil, popcicle stick, chop stick or any thing soft (metal not recommended) and insert it in the hole for the Top Latch pushing and releasing to make sure the switch is closing. Make sure this switch is working - they do stick occasionally.

Finally, check appropriate fuses - B6 - control, D3 - motor, and also make sure convertible top relay is snug in the relay box - it's the only double-sized one in there - #14-15.
