Default Soft top dead

Hi folks,
I just took my 2005 crossfire out of storage, I got moused over the winter so I took the car out of the garage to let it air out. I started putting the top down and stopped it in mid position for better air flow and turned the car off. I started the car, tried the top switch and nothing is happening, the trunk will not unlock and the passenger door will not lock or unlock either. The top switch started flashing also- any ideas? Anyone seen this before?
Thanks for any ideas

How long did you let it sit like that? After around ten minutes, the pressure in the system is released and the top and lid will relax - likely such that the top module loses track of where things are, hence, "loss of sync".

In such cases, you must start the car and have it running, while you put the top up and down manually two or three times. THEN, try the button, it should work fine.

Procedure is here:

What does that mean?

If it means what I think it means - sell the car for parts.
NOW.
