convertible top isn't going down!

[MYTOY986]

We finally had a good "top down" day today. I got in to my 2000, pulled up the parking brake, released the center latch, the windows dropped, I hit the switch, and NOTHING. No buzz, no click, nothing.

Of course, being a former Porsche parts manager, I panicked and started adding up the cost of all the parts that might have been.

Then, I noticed that when I set the parking brake, the light on the dash didn't come on. Am I wrong to think it might be a micro switch on the hand brake lever?

Now, How do I get to it??? and I don't recall if it's available separately.

Any help????

Also, where is he relay for the top located?

So I went out to the car, and started to play with the parking brake lever. If I hold it just right, the dash light comes on, and the top works!!!!!

So know, is it a DIY job? and how do I get to it????

Safest way is to pull the center console.
I've done them without pulling the console all the way out but you still need to unbolt it.

Thanks! sounds like an easy project! Now all I need is time.
