Default my top wont go up!

seems like there's no electric current after hitting the top up/down button......
the top is currently down at the moment, but the switch isnt making it go up. my battery recently died, i just jump started it, but my top won't go up..could there be other reasons? fuse/messed up wire?

What panels? What have you been doing?
I would suggest going back behind or under those panels and double checking to make sure no wiring harnesses or switches have been disconnected or shifted.
When you pull the ebrake up, does the dash light come on? If it doesn't, that might be something to look at.

just pull the center console up...its really easy, make sure both of the harnesses are conected...there are only two harnesses under there, one for the brake lights/hazards, and one for the top up/down switch.

they can only fit into their respective matching harness so you really cant mess that up

At the base of the ebrake handle, you should see a switch with wires coming out of it. Make sure the switch is being pushed when you pull on the ebrake. Do it with your finger if you must just to confirm the dash light. Then follow the wires as far as you can see to make sure the next harness is OK.

or just do the no e-brake top down mod...then you'll have nothing to worry about...just don't try to drop your top with the clamps in....

By any chance did you have the center console pulled out recently? Maybe you forgot to reconnect the two wire harnesses under there for the top up/down switch and the hazards. Just an idea
