Then I remembered reading a post by pizza guy I believe about put top up and down with car running...so I tried that. After the first time going through the sequence he described...the windows go down when D handle is released....the bow unlatches and tries to lift but only goes about an inch or two. Also I can not put top down manually now as I cant lift the bow high enough to lift up the lid. It's like its froze up. I checked fluid level...its half way between max and low. Any help is much appreciated.....
. One more thing spoiler started working by button on console after going through the reset sequence. No more blinking lights on top or spoiler switches.
How old is your battery? When the battery starts to fail it makes the car do weird things.
If you have a battery tender you can try putting it on and let it charge for a day or two. Then remove it and start the car and try to operate the top again. Don't use a high out put charger like a jump starter.
If you don't drive the car often, keep it on a battery tender.
You could also try disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 5 minutes and then reconnect it. I don't know if that will work or not. Just a shot in the dark.
