Suggest that you release the trunk and then securely close it. Then try the button to release the vert top again................. Bet it works.

The prevention of the vert top release opening when the trunk is not properly latched is a safety measure to prevent damage to the two parts if both were tried to be open at the same time.

Default wiring diagram needed

While you are checking the fuses and relays in the passenger foot well, see if the carpet in the foot well is wet. Also check the aluminum can to the left of the fuse box and see if you see any white calcium oxidation stains on the aluminum can. It houses the circuit board that is the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM has direct control of operating the trunk ajar condition and the folding top ajar condition. If it has gotten wet that could be a problem.
it would be so helpful if you could post diagram for me..thank you very much
