Default Soft top problem

I took my oem soft top out of my car about a year back when I had bought my hardtop...
Recently sold the hardtop and bought a complete ap1 soft top (kept my original motors)
and when I put it in a few weeks back, plugged everything in and went to hit the switch and
bring it up....there was no power at all going to the motors..I checked the fuse box and
all my fuses are ok..checked the switch itself to make sure i hadnt accidentally
unplugged it somehow and it was good as well...

anyone else run into this problem...or know someone that could fix it for a fair price.
I might be trading the car next week and I need to get this problem sorted out before I meet
with the potential buyer

Thanks,
Mike!

Yeah I had a similar problem..and its still happening! Except my soft top gets power...when putting it up it will move 1/4 of the way then stop and I have to reach back and pull it closed the rest of the way! I think my motors are going bad since I had the soft top folded for like a little over a year before I started using it again...I have no idea what the exact problem is tho l, just a guess...but since you mentioned it I will check to make sure my fuses are all ok too! Sorry if its not very helpful

How about the e-brake switch?

What about wiring, reference the moving top down bypass for related wires? (Where you don't have to put up the e-brake to put the top down)
