Have that problem with my top as well. The flashing red light is indicating that its not fully retracted and latched down. My motor hydraulic unit isn't retracting the top down enough at times that the micro switch functions with the latch that engages to keep it down. Sometimes pushing the down button again seems to cure it, but I did find that pushing down manually "engaged" the latch with a definite click... Solving my problem. I'm going to replace my motor this fall either using Shipkillers DIY instructions or paying my Indy shop to do it....as I have retraction issues when first engaging the retraction button.... Sometimes have to "assist" by pushing back gently.

I'd read Shipkillers DIY on this as it fully describes how the repair is done and the Microswitches and latches. http://www.shipkiller.com/Softtop_Main.html
