Never mind... I scoured this forum and found out what to do...
If this ever happens to you - just hold the roll bar "UP" button until you here a click or clunk. Then you will be able to use it normally...

Thanks

Did happen to me severa weeks ago, after searching in the forum, I disconnect the rear battery for at least 5 minutes(did it for 10), reconnect the battery cables and just hold the "up" button until reached max height the press the "down" button.

No need to disconnect the battery.
Simply hold up until the gears lock back into place, then you can lower it.

LMFAO....

Yeah the sound scares the crap out of you... I'm glad this post helped - when mine activated the first scare was the sound the second was the fact that i may have to go to the dealer to have it reset... $$$

Take care...
