No it wasn't. It seems to have no power to the button and when my top didn't work my auto window up/down didn't work either.

I had that issue a long time ago and i still haven't resolved it. My roof light won't turn on won't blink NO RED LIGHT AT ALL. Double check and tripled checked the fuse the button on the inside of the glove and the trunk cover mat. For now just riding around with the roof up till I get a chance to take it to the dealer.

Ok I just reread your statement. So you did get it fix. My issue is the light will not turn on period but my windows do work. Could it still be a bad ECU and where did you replace the ecu in the back trunk. My back trunk is torn apart so I can easily replace it if needed.

Does your auto window up/down work? Mine auto up/down doesn't work but my window still roll up and down but I have to keep on pressing it if I want to roll my window all the way up or down. If your auto window does not work then it's might be your top ecu, like mine. Does it seems like when you press the button for your top, there's no power to it? I bought my top ecu on eBay,with overnight shipping., it only cost me a total of 150.00 to fix mine versus a couple of grand at the dealer.
Which part of Texas do you live? I live in DFW area.

Just press the window button all the way down and let go, it should move down all the way without your finger pressing on it. And if it doesn't than your issue is like mine. When press the button to take the top down, do you hear any kind of noise or movement?

If you had taken your pos battery post off you have to re-learn your auto windows up and down.
You have to run the windows up manual and hold for a second after it reaches the top then hold the button down till window reaches the bottrom and hold for a second you have to do the same from the passenger side window controller

The light doesn't even come on and the open/close for top doesn't even function. No noise at all.

I'm try to reset the auto window manually

I tried as you said and no auto window. I think it could be a bad ECU? hey Tdvlexo when you installed a new ECU did you have to go to dealership to get it flashed or is everything just plug and play and it just worked.

No dealer needed, just plug and play, just make sure to disconnect your battery. I tried to reset my window also and it didn't work. That's why I thought my ecu was bad, you have the same problem I had. How long did you drive without putting your top down? Your car looks exactly like mine, same color exterior and interior. What else are you gonna do to your car?
