C6 power top not responding
On my 2011 GS with manual transmission, I cant get my power top to operate. I am sure it is the ebrake switch because the "Brake" light is not showing up on the dash when i engage it. The brake light does illuminate when first starting the car and all the lights go thru a check process. We are on the 3rd day of our Rt 66 trip and it sucks that we can't put the top down. ANy suggestions on doing it manually till we get back home?

Check your trunk, if it is not fully closed the top won't operate. There is a valve you can open to drain the fluid and then move the top but not too easy of a task. Good Luck!

Did you try the following?
1. Re-index your windows.
2. Make sure the partion in the truck is fully engaged in the up position and snapped in tightly.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable for at least 5 minutes. 30 minutes if you have the time. Re-index your windows after reconnecting your negative battery cable.

I've dislodged that partition many times when packing too much stuff in the trunk. It's frustrating, but easy to fix.
