Greetings

This is a weird one for me.
I started my 2005 today and when I went to put the roof down, no joy
Sequence of events
1. Started the carr
2. Released the roof lock and pushed up 6-9"
3. Windows went down as normal
4. Red light came on right away
5. Pushed the down switch and got constant blinking light and constant beeping
6 Pulled the top down relatched and raised windows

Now I get out go the the trunk and the trunk is locked!!!!

That's new , never happened before. I had the top down the day prior , no issues at all

I,ve practiced manually raising and lowering the top quite a few times. I do not know if I can try that with the trunk being locked

FYI
There is a fluid leak from a cylinder somewhere, left side of trunk. I refill the resvoir maybe twice , three times a year. Been working for a few years that way
The trunk lock thing has never happened before

Please help
