Thats a lot of info to plunder through. Lol. After going through a checklist to open the top, here are the results:

1. Pre-Check: Vehicle Conditions

· Ignition ON (engine running preferred) - ensures full system voltage. Check

· Parking brake engaged - required for top operation. Check

· Battery voltage stable - weak batteries cause false sensor readings. Check

2. Partition (Cargo Divider) Verification

· Confirm the trunk partition is fully lowered. Check

· Push down until a firm click is felt. Check

· Inspect the partition switch for:

o Broken tabs Check

o Loose hinge Check

o Misalignment Check

· **Top switch blinking

3. Rear Latch Microswitch Check

These switches must report "unlocked" before the pump will run. Did not attempt this step

· Attempt to open the top.

· Listen/feel for the rear latch motors.

· Verify both latches release.

· If one side releases and the other does not:

o Suspect a failed microswitch or latch motor.

4. Front Latch Microswitch Check

· Operate the front header latch.

· Ensure the latch fully rotates to the open position. Check

· Inspect the microswitch for:

o Loose connector Check

o Broken plastic actuator

o Incomplete latch travel Check
** Windows opened

5. Trunk Lid Movement Check

· When the top command is given, the trunk lid should flip backward.

· If the lid does not move:

o Check trunk lid latch sensor. Checked lid latch. See picture for discovery

o Check trunk lid hydraulic struts for resistance. Manually released trunk latch in an attempt to check hydraulic pressure. Unable to move rear window segment to release trunk lid due to pressure.

o Verify trunk lid wiring harness for damage. Check



White, plastic arm not in correct position. Mounting tabs appear broken. This is where I manually release the rear window.
