Unhappy Help

Well, Ive been away for several months travelling, work, etc...
I came back and i never thought about the car before leaving.
The battery went completely totally dead. I jusped her and she started
totaly fine. I am getting a new battery today however the ESP,ASR lights
are lit as well as my roof light (red) and my rollbar light. Neither will go down
(or up in the case of the rollbar). All fuses are fine. I reset my radio code fine
but i dont know how to reset these ligts and make my roof go down and rollbar
go up as well as turn off the slip lights (ESP, ASR)?
I want tto get the soft top down so i can put the hard top on for the fall.
Any hwlp would be great. I really dont even want to drive it like this to my MB dealer (45 mins away).
Thanks!!!

You're very welcome. Hmm, as for the soft top lights, mine went out after the new battery was installed. You could try holding the soft top toggle up for 5 seconds, I remember reading something about doing that to reset a raised roll bar.

Had the same exact problem. It was a fuse for me. ASR, ABS, and roll bar light out as well as oil gauge was dead.
