Having done some reading on here before shopping I knew this could be a low cost sensor/switch problem or something much more expensive. Used these problems and the fact a convertibles don't sell well in the winter in central Illinois to negotiate an acceptable deal.

Using the forum troubleshooting information, a lot of it from pizzaguy (thank you), i was able to determine my problem was likely the spoiler closed limit switch. What an easy fix I thought until I realized the OEM switch was no longer available. So I went shopping for a similar switch that might work. I found an Omron Snap switch D2S-01L13-AQ that is close and after installing it is working fine. The holes in the Omron switch are at the same CL as the pins on the factory switch and using two 3-48 - 1/2 in screws as guide pins I was able secure the switch with a little glue to the bracket.(you could put washer & nuts on screws but would need to remove the bracket). It did take a little sanding of the one end of the switch to fit in the bracket.

Some images below (Again, thanks for all the helpful information on this forum)
