In any event, to reset follow the instructions I gave above "Manually override the pump (petcock counter-clockwise), latch the top, put it back to automatic (petcock clockwise) and try again."

When I did my cylinder hoses it took 5 or 6 attempts to purge the air from the system - it would get half way up then collapse down again due to air pockets but I made sure to keep cycling the system up until it latched correctly - perhaps if you have pressed the down button the system is confused and out of sync. Try a hard reset then raising the roof again - also, as stated, make sure the fluid level stays within limits.

It could be that your top is confused! Open the petcock open the roof manually check that the rear windows are open and that the lock is stowed then close the petcock, check the fluid level and do a hard reset. At this time close the roof electrically and hold the button until it is completed. The roof may run slowly and it may take time to operate because of air presented to the system. I should mention that this system will self purge.

thank for all the suggestions ,the top is not as confused as i am. Calling it a night Things are still not working in sink, will try aging tomorrow and let you know the outcome rear windows will not go up on there one I have to use the breakers in the trunk. Front latch only opens half way the finally will open afere playing with the switch. I need a magic wand.

Thanks...I did replace the connections on the rams. Haybe the switch on the ram is bad. they did go up once with the top switch. When I press the up button the top goes down (sometimes) When you say a HARD reset do you mean removing the battery cables and touching them together? Is it possible that the hoses are crossed. I have them on according to the diagram maybe my pump is different. will it damage anything if I switch them?
