I am having trouble with my top. Here's what happens, I have to release the
>latch on the front manually. Lift the retract button and the top begins to
>fold. It reaches a point where these cylinders are fully retracted so this
>portion of the retract is complete. Then the compartment lid pops open only
>a couple inches. I can hear the hydraulic pump attempting to work something
>but then it stops. Sounds like the logic is telling something to work but it
>won't so it quits. I have gotten it to open by wiggling the pump assembly
>while someone else operates the retract button but I have to stop because
>the trunk lid is open and the compartment lid hits it. It will always close
>properly from this point.
>I have checked the compartment lid cylinder by moving the solenoid wires
>from the fold signal and the compartment lid opens perfectly. The folded

>when fully folded. The compartment latch sensors seem to be good but there

Does the errant behavior occur whether the engine is running or not?
