I've got a 2007 XLR-V with 43K miles on it. The Top works fine, however I am getting an intermittent "Top Not Secure" error. It only occurs when the top is down. I have a Tech2 and performed a relearn thinking that maybe a sensor might have been slightly out of range, but that hasn't solved the problem. I was hoping that maybe this was a somewhat common problem and someone on here could point me in the right direction as to which switch might be acting up.
 
Might check that none of the potentiometer s are loose. Theycould have the drive pin worn. Read the values of them with the scanner and write it down check it to see if it changes. The secure light can come on for any of them being bad but not usually when its down only when its latched.
 
Maybe the top center latch isn’t locking the top down or one of the two micro switches at the center latching mechanism is going bad.
 
Ok im reading top is down as in open and stored. the center latch should not be reading at that point . the switch in the windshield headder where the pin drops down also should not be reading when the top is open but is known to turn the light on if bad and the top is closed. And as you said when closed and latched the switch over head could be bad
