Forgive me if this has been answered in the past. i searched many threads, and have not seen this problem before.
Top was working fine on my 2004. But it would get a bit out of whack every year or two. Top would work as it should up and down, but slowly the trunk lid would stall and I'd have to release and reengage the up/down switch to complete the cycle. So using my Vetronix Tech-2, I have performed Top Relearns twice in the past as CCClarke has described over the years....with successful results. Up until now.
The windows went down as they should, the front tonneau went up as it should prior to the trunk lid (not) opening, etc etc. Only...everything STOPPED right there. Black tonneau thingy (located behind the seats) stuck in the up position. No trunk lid action or back tonneau doing anything. No pump or motor noises, either.
Normally, the Tech-2 would go thru each of the positions and then read "learned"....after which, the cycle finishes, and you repeat it going back up. BUT, the reading this time are different. Says calibration status "inactive". The top up/down button does nothing. Everything is stalled.
So I reinitialized the windows (since that was the suggestion CCClarke made in a post a few years back if the relearn procedure is somehow interrupted) and still....nothing. Just the fron tonneau thingy stuck in the up position:
So before trying to open the trunk lid to get things moving, I thought it best to try and get some advice from you all in case one or more of you have had this issue and can offer a solution.
(FYI...the up/down switch is working fine according to the Tech-2) Last resort is going to a dealership. I can't afford that. Unemployed for the last year while fighting stage 4 colon cancer. (winning that, tho)
