Has anyone (Ship?) written a "how to triage soft top problems" post/sticky? We have enough collective knowledge it would seem. Maybe the place to begin is by listing possible symptoms. This could end up being a solution flow chart that would be a great reference and place to direct people to. I'm sure enough of us have access to Visio and someone could do the final creation.

So, here goes (please chime in):

Convertible Top Problem Symptoms06-08 model years)
-Top will not open
- When pressing open button red light flashes and nothing happens. I hear no noises at all
- When pressing open button I hear noise from behind my head that sounds like the pump but the top doesn't move
- When pressing open button I hear a noise near the windshield header, but no noise from behind my ear. I can push the top open a little bit with my hand
-Top will not close
- When pressing close button red light flashes and nothing happens. I hear no noises at all
- When pressing close button I hear noise from behind my head that sounds like the pump but the top doesn't move

Ok, any other first level symptoms to add here?
