Default Re: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire convertible top won't go down; doesn't work

Could water have gotten into the fusebox?

BTW, top is new, still under warranty. I hope to fix this myself before Chrysler gets here with the rollback.
If not mistaken, if you leave the Top in a half open position for ten (10) minutes or greater, the Top hydraulic system will de-pressurize (spelling...???).

There's probably a procedure to re-activate the hydraulics, but I'm at a loss right now on how to do this.

Try a peek at the Owners Manual.

If that's not a fix, and things got really wet, you may have to wait for a complete dry out, or you need to systematically go through each Top sensor and make sure they are operable.

Typically when encountering a Top down issue, the Cargo Divider microswitch is a prime suspect...
