OK, in a few easy steps Kind of like a computer programming flowchart:

1. Button is pushed to open top - IF microswitches in top are depressed AND upper OR Lower microswitch on passenger side transmission is NOT depressed, THEN rotate locking motors to open position. Microswitches Inside locking motors send signal to turn "top is up" warning light on.

2. IF Microsiwtches in top bar are open AND microswitchs on passenger side transmission are not depressed, turn on electric motors in back of car, retracting top.

3. IF bottom microswitch on passenger side transmission is depressed, AND Microswitches inside locking motor indicate latched unlocked, AND microswitches on top bar are open THEN Stop cabriolet top retracting and turn off "top is open" light

To Close:

Button is pushed: IF # 3 above still applies, turn transmissions the other way. Until one of the following happens.

1. Top microswitch on transmission top is depressed - top stops immeditely, regardless of top position

2. IF microswitches in top bar are depressed AND top microswitch on transmission is NOT depressed, turn locking motors to 'Lock" position until internal microswitch in locking motor indicates "lock", then turn out "top is open" light.

Your problem with your top is you have a bad locking motor - it is not sending the proper signal to secure your top. They are easy to replace - but unfortunately a bit pricy.
