From your PM (I am answering in public in order to help others who will read this AND to keep all the correspondence in the same thread):
the other day top worked fine.go out yesterday unlatch the d ring lock on the tonneau cover came up about 3/4 of an inch and stopped working.
also with this spoiler stopped working along with the trunk.got in the trunk through the tag light and fluid was empty.found the leak and fixed it..
I've never heard of a leak so bad the tank was EMPTY. How long have you owned the car?
when i first tried to open it after the d ring was unlatched the windows didn't go down until i hit the top switch.so the sequence is unlock d ring,windows don't go down,get the beeping and the top light blinks.
The idea that the windows did not go down when you turned the "D" ring means the switch up there is bad, the top control module is bad, or the BCM and TCM are having a hard time "talking".
I will get back to this in my last response in this post.
the vacuum actuator for locks is new,
What EXACTLY do you refer to? Then entire lock pump assembly? And why was it replaced? (I suspect this is all related).
battery is 3 weeks old,fuses are good,and if i start the car the trunk will once again not open unless i get in through the tag light.other than bcm any other ideas i can try at home?thanks for any help you can provide.
There is too much going on here to make sense of it all. SO:
Rip out the trim from the ENTIRE TRUNK. Look for ANY signs of water intrusion ANYWHERE in the trunk or wheel wells. If you find any, the road to fixing this may be quite involved. If no water damage is found, just knowing that is worth yanking the trim out.
One more time: What is your history with the car? Bought it last week? Owned it ten years? Stored it three years while you traveled to Mars for the CIA?
