Front convertible top latches will not unlock to drop the top down
Hello everyone and my apology if this problem has been covered.
I disconnected the battery to charge it as the car wasn’t used for a spell and it wouldn’t start. It fired up fine and ran good on a test drive after the battery charge.. When I got home, I decided to try the tops function as the driver door window was full up and I couldn’t get the door to close. I had no problem with the tops operation prior to the battery charge.
I know I can manually release the front locks as I’ve replaced all the actuators a few years back.
is there a reset that need done since the battery was disconnected to charge? Thank you.
