My daughter just purchased a 1997 Firebird convertable. The problem is with the power top. When you push the switch you can hear the sound of the pump motor running, but the top will not move up or down. The top can be manually be put up and down, so it isn't binding. We purchased a Haynes manual, but it does't address the power top. Any ideas where to start looking? It was working fine, then just quit. Thanks!

Try checking the linkage for the motor if it is not in sync the motor will not drop down you can find the diagrams online for the linkage through goodle or some other search engine
