Top goes down but not up

[87GT Drop Top]

I put the top down yesterday. I went out. I came home and put it in the garage with the top down. I went to put it up this morning and it won't go up. I have power going out of both sides of the switch. I switched the relays and that didn't do anything. I'm guessing it's the motor. Any reassurance? Thanks Frank

Update. There is power coming from the switch, but no power going to the motor. I hate electrical problems.

try manually lifting the top, (you might need a friend) and then try it. mine does that sometimes and i start to manually lift it and when i get it about half way i push the button (going up) and it starts to work. i'm pretty sure its the motor but i haven't searched that hard, i usually wait til something completely breaks before i replace something.

i believe there should be 2 relays, one for up and one for down. you should hear a click when you hit the switch. try looking back there and figuring out which one it is. i havent messed with the fox verts but it should be similar.

Thanks for the input guys. I figured out my problem. While I was disassembling the dash a few wires popped out of the connectors, dur to broken tabs holding them in. Well I had mixed up 2 wires. Once I switched them back it worked fine.
