Default Soft Top not working

I recently removed my hardtop and when I tried to put my softtop back up it doesn't work. The windows work but they don't function when I push the soft top bottom. The parking brake light is ON on the dash. The first step I did was to check the 20amp fuse under the hood. When I shook the fuse I can hear rattling on both so I replaced both fuses, and still doesn't work. The car is a 2002 with 70kmiles on it. I don't think it's the motor but could it be the module switch? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Have you checked the safety switch on the hardtop catcher to make sure it's not stuck? There is a safety switch on the drivers side catcher that prevents soft top operation when depressed. It's quick to check.
