Another Top Won't come up Problem

[DavidWeis]

IU've been driving around with the soft top up for about 2 weeks. Last week, while out with my kid, the top would not go back up.

I had brought it down, turned the car off to get ahot dog, then when the car started again, the red light came on. I tried putting the top up, but all that would happen is the windows go down, and the flap would raise. I could hear the hydrollics trying, but to no avail.

In a desperate attempt to solve continue driving the car, I tried to put the hard top back on, but that shut the whole system down.

Dealer fixed the problem in 1.7 hours and said the 'latches' were out of synk. Great; So I paid, and tried the top (down, then up) with the car running. That was yesterday.

Today, I dropped the top, drove about a mile, then got some coffee. When I put the key back in, that darn red light came back on.

I checked the latches (they are all in the same possition. The sensor on the drives side is locked down, and I can't lift the top up manually while the switch is engaged.

Since I can't find any diagnostic switches to ground 1 to 7 (or whatever) to diagnose, its going back to the dealer.

Any comments on what I can try?

Thanks (and sorry for the long winded note
