3) The pump runs for a few seconds and stops
4) The Spoiler button does not light up when pressed and of course the spoiler does not work. I read in one of the posts this could be related to the top not working.
I just purchased Crossfire and of course would love to get the top working. Any advice on where to start would be appreciated.
The first thing I would do is check the divider panel is in place properly. Take it out of the holder and then put it back in then try again. If that doesn't work then I would check level of hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. It's located on the left side behind the trunk panel. It may be low. Next I would check the battery voltage. A weak battery will cause a lot of weird problems in these cars.
pizzaguy has great thread on how to check the top functions step by step. You might want to search for that thread in the troubleshooting section.
Best of luck!
