I strongly suspect so. ALWAYS remember: The top open switch and divider switch DO NOT play a role in putting the top UP, only in putting the top DOWN. A top that will go UP but not DOWN is caused by either a bad top open or divider switch, period. It really IS that simple. Those two switches MUST be checked before putting the top down in order to protect against damaged caused by:
1) The divider not being up and therefore something could be in the way in the trunk that can damage the top.
2) The top not being released and pulled away from the windshield frame, which means if the pump DID start, you'd damage things when the pump started and began to pressurize cylinders that would pull against the attached top frame.
Going UP, you need now check either of these parameters, as it is obvious by logic that there is no reason to.
