Convertible Top Button Won't Open/Close Top

[vfrpilot0]

Searched the forum and didn't see this problem: I depress the convertible top button in the dash to open or close the Top on my 2000 996 and I can hear a click on the drivers side under the clamshell, but the top will not go up or down. The dash indicator will light while the button is depressed. If I lower or raise the top with the door key it works normally. Any idea what the root cause is?

Found the problem. I had opened and closed the hood to show off the engine the other day. The hood was closed, but apparently not all the way. There is a microswitch that needs to be triggered for the dash mounted switch to operate that key/door switch does not check. I opened and closed the hood firmly(slammed it) and now the top works as normal.
