Default Re: Convertible top WONT CLOSE!

My convertible has been working fine and for some reason the other day I went to open it stopped midway. I unlatched the top and the windows went down like always, but the When the back bow unlock from the actuator and started to lift....it STOPPED!

I press the button and i hear a "motor" moving but the bow wont go up anymore...then to make it worse, when I push the button to go down it wont lock back in place. I tried several times even releasing the pressure from the top and tried over and over again.

Eventually I just had to have my roomate push it down while I used an allen key to turn the small motor so it would lock the top down.

Now the freaking button just keeps flashing...sometimes it blinks then it doesnt, sometimes it blinks when im driving and the wing goes up..annnnnd at other times it doesnt.. Grrrrr
Pop your hood. Look at your battery. Is it white? If it is, then it is most likely original and is failing. Failing batteries on these electronic cars do all sorts of do funnies. If not a white battery have it checked anyway.
