1999 996 Cab Clamshell Won't Close

Recently filled hydraulic unit and operated clamshell cover a few times and it worked normally. Now the clamshell is in the open position and will not retract back into the body. Cabriolet switch on dash lights up. No sounds of motors that appear to be stuck can be heard. Soft top works fine and opens/closes normally. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.

I am hesitant to take into shop since I cannot diagnose the issue. FYI, I do most of my own work on the car but have no frame of reference for this problem.

It's the sensor that checks position, I will have to look fr more detail it has been awhile. Get back to you.
