check your aftermarket alarm if you have one.

The other day, after driving around for 30 mins with top down, my top wouldn't go back up.

Left the car for 24 hrs, then tried to put it up again. This time, there was no power at all in the car.

Jumped the battery, got the car running, top still wouldn't go up.

Checked the switch for the top: dead.

I guess I should be happy it lasted 4 yrs. Time to get a new switch assembly from Honda.

Well, turns out I may have been too quick to place the blame here. When I went to start the car this morning (something I had not done since posting the above), car was dead again. No lights, no power, nada. So I pulled the battery (DieHard) and took it over to Sears for some testing. Lo and behold, the battery is no good.

I have ordered the Hawker to replace it, and hopefully it'll arrive this week. Once I get it in, I'll reactivate the switch for the top, and see what happens. :crossingfingers:
