More problems with the top

[RandallNeighbour]

Beyond the handbrake sensor, there's another one inside the hole where the center hook of the top connects to the front of the windshield. Try leaving the top unhooked and stick your left finger up into the hole and push in the switch, using your right hand to operate the top button.

With the switch pushed in by your finger (like when the top is latched) the top would refuse to operate. What you want to do is see if that switch is stuck, and is not popping out when the top is un-latched. I'm not sure if you can hear or feel it click when it is pushed in or pops out, though.

I had a that problem but with the top down. It was the handbrake switch.
I pulled the cover off, pulled the plug and put a jummper wire(paperclip) in it. Got the top up.
Whe I got home I put it all back think I was going to clean the switch or replace it. Well, it's been working fine for 3 months and I put the top down nearly every day some times a couple times a day.

What cover did you pull off to get to the handbrake switch?
