Top won't go up or down
Top won't go up or down
I have an issue with my top:
Open top with d handle and windows go down and the red light on the button lights up.
Nothing happens. I have unlatched the divider and the trunk and each case the fault beeps which indicates that both switches are working. Reading Pizza Guys posts, I have tried to manually raise and lower the top. When I raise the top to the complete position, just prior to closing it down with the d handle, the system starts beeping that there is a problem. Even after I close the top with the d handle the beeping continues. I had to disconnect the battery and that seemed to cure the fault problem. But every time I raise the top, the same thing happens. I originally thought the problem was the top open switch but that does not account for the fact the top won't go up either. Since the top does not go up, am I correct in assuming the top open switch is not the problem?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Top won't go up or down
Im on a road trip, stopped for lunch. I'll be on here EARLY tomorrow morning and post more.
But here's a few things:
1) Do the door locks all work?
2) Does the wing act normally (in Base and Limited models only, SRTs dont have a powered wing).
If either answer is "No", I'd yank the trim from the trunk and look for water intrusion to the Central Locking pump/Security System Module.
You should probably also look at fluid level in the tank, but Im not thinking that is the problem.
I'll be back in aabout 18 hours...
Re: Top won't go up or down
I might be mistaken here but when I open the trunk the warning light starts and it beeps. When the trunk is closed, the warning light stops, which is an indication that the trunk lid is working correctly. However, the pump is not engaging at all and the trunk never locks...basically, the actual top operation never starts except for the windows going down.
