Did a couple more tests today.
I did the sync process as described on the forum. Made sure the pump did not have pressure by pulling the fuse. Started the car and lifted the front off the front window. Opened the trunk and gently lowered the partition. Applied the hex key to release the back bow off the the cowl. Raised the partition so the controller could see nothing was under the cowl. Lifted the back bow and unlatched the cowl underneath. Lifted the cowl out of the way and put the the folded back window and top in the open hole. I then closed the cowl lid. Then I opened the trunk and lower the partition so I could lock the bow to the cowl. Then I raised the partition. While I was doing that, I was watching DRBIII screen to see the switches activate.

Did that twice.

Then I got in the started car with the top down and the windows up. I unlatched the front handle and pushed the raise/lower button. Beeping was about once a second and the windows went down, There was flashing of the top switch, no pump action and the cowl did not pop up. The DRBIII screen indicated that everything was pass, except the trunk lid. My wife pushed down on the lid. It did not move and the fail mode of the trunk lid did not clear up.

My conclusion is that something is bad with the switch and ....maybe... the wire from/to the switch.
