There is a jumper under the hood next to the boost/ vac sensor on the passengers shock tower.

There will be an ignition wire and the up & down wires.

Check that you have voltage there. If you do, you can just close (or open) the roof by jumping the wires. Make sure you remove your jumper when you are done.

That will also tell you if the problem is with the motors, voltage, or switch.

You could let it sit while it's up halfway then try again. Btw, does it beep when you turn the ****? If it does then you should check to make sure your E-brake is up and your car is in neutral. It won't move if it's in drive!
