Default Convertible top help

Ok so im trying to get my top to work, when i push the button i can hear a clicking every time i push it. I thought it just needed fluid so i added some and now the top is almost impossible to pull up and put back down by hand, when i got it it was really easy to just pull up and put back. My motor doesnt even have a plug where the fluid goes in, so im thinking thats a problem too.

My next step was to add enough fluid so that it was actually spilling out of the motor, and get a plug so i can actually plug it. But obviously i dont know $#!@ about this stuff so if im way off please help

Mine did the same thing a couple weeks ago. When you hit the switch you can hear the relays click. You need to take a voltmeter and check the power wires that run from the relays to the pump. There are two power wires, one is to lower the top and the other to raise it. If I remember right they are yellow and red. If you have voltage in these wires at the pump, replace the pump.
