Windows and Top won't go down
It worked last night when I left the movie theater. This morning, i started the car and it didn't work. We had a s2ki meet and drive today too
So far, I have checked the fuses. I checked the 2 20A ones under the dash. I also checked the fuse box under the hood. None were blown. Billman pulled up my center console to make sure the plugs were tight which they were.
The only thing I did between last night and this morning was vacuum the carpet. I put the vacuum under the seat as well. I don't think there are any connections down there for the windows/top. everything else works fines, just windows and top. any help is appreciated

I went through some more fuses. I found the Front Wiper 20A to be blown. I replaced it and still it doesn't work. So now the windows, top, and wipers do not work.

Could it be the emergency brake switch? There's a sensor that detects when you lift the emergency brake, and without that, the top won't go down.
Maybe a connector to it got jostled? Unfortunately I can't tell you where that stuff is, but you mentioned the seat - maybe there's a connector under there?

The e-brake switch is under the console. The only plug under the driver seat is for the seat belt switch, unless your car has a OEM dealer installed security system. Which should not interfere with top or window operation.

billman took off the console to check the roof switch plug and i think he checked the ebrake as well. at first i thought it was only the top and windows, but its also the wipers. any correlation in terms of wiring? i know my problem must be eletrical. all the motors can't fail at once. i went through alot of threads, no one has had this problem before
