I'm headed to Michigan for Christmas. I'll be back late next week.
Check your private messages, I'll send you my phone number, if you can put the top UP but not DOWN with the switch, you have a sensor somewhere that is not telling the TCM that it's safe to start the pump when the top is UP, but is fine when its down.

Gotta be a sensor somewhere. If you have the top all the way up and you grab the handle and turn it, in order to release it from the windshield frame, do the door windows go down? If not, it's the switch in the frame above the windshield. If the windows do down, but the top wont move, we have some homework to do - but the fact that you can put it UP electrically means that this is a sensor somewhere. I'd have to think about it, or simply break out the DVM and start snooping around in the wiring.
