Thumbs down Windows and Top Won't work HELP!

Ok, this morning I go to my car to drive. Windows working fine. I return to car after a brief 10mins. Windows nor top will go down/respond at all. I took it to honda dealer and they said all fuses are good. I'm at a total loss for what could possibly be wrong. If anyone ever experienced this and has a solution, please help. I have an '06, not even 3 months old.

If you brought your car to the Honda dealership and they told you all fuses were fine, wouldnt they know what was wrong and tell you? I'd imagine the service manager would know better whats wrong with your car than us here on the internet.

Isn't there a window lockout switch on the driver side? Is this on? Also you know to pull up on the emergency brake right? If so does the brake light come on when you do?

You might also try searching (try google: site:www.s2ki.com top window broken) this is a fairly common problem, usually with a simple solution.

The window lock-out is over-ridden by the top function. It doesn't matter what position it's in. Go try it.

The top not working (along with the windows) is NOT a common problem. Only lately, has there been a surge (if you call maybe 2 cases, a "surge"). Here's one:

Look for the replies from "Fastrack". He had this and the dealer found the solution.

No guys it's not the famous on/off windows switch. Bigger issue. The link provided is a lil bit closer to my problem. I'll try and be more specific and clear. NEITHER my passenger or driver or convertible top switches are working. No audible relay sound to my knowledge. Fuses look good, no breaks. One of the links mentioned convertible motor something underneath passenger side. Could that be it??? Is this something I can fix on my own??? Would a battery disconnect and reconnect resolve issue?

It seems to me this would be a good time to start building a rapport with your (or some other) dealer's service department. You car is under warranty and part of their job is to correct problems like you're experiencing. Just my .02.

Doesnt hurt to try reset ECU, not sure why you are stressing to deal with this on an 06 tho, I would bring the ruckus right back to the dealership I bought it from.

I think this is going to be a more complicated issue, so don't mess with it. You have a brand new car. Let the warranty take care of it before you go and mess something up and void the warranty.

UPDATE****
I took car in but noticed not only does windows or top not work, but neither does my windshield wipers!!!!! Dealer is saying it's a short somewhere in car. They didnt have qualified techs to look at it on weekend, gave me a 2 week later appt!!! Which is bs of course, I gotta struggle with no windshield wipers for 2 weeks! And I got a flat on my way there and it cost me a new tire in rear. I'm mad as hell now!!!!!!!
