Hello and Thanks!
Hello to all....I have been lurking for a while and thought I would finally chime in. I am a proud new owner of a low mileage 2002 and could not be happier. I am planning on adding new wheels and maybe a few mods to keep it interesting.
I have to thank this forum for some of the info I have already gathered. I have purchased a spare, found some "twisties" and learned a ton just by searching the forum . You guys are a wealth of knowledge.
I am having one issue that started last night. I put the top down to go for a cruise and now it will not go back up. Valet switch is right, the trunk lid is closed etc, and it went down fine. Now when I hit the close button I get nothing.... No light, no sound. When I push the open button, with the top already open, the windows go up as they should. Push the close button, and it does nothing. It almost like there is no power to that side of the switch. Lexus says "we have never heard of that" usually the top will not open. Is there a fuse that controls the close function of the roof ? Or maybe a trunk closed status switch that is not being made. I have even tried disconnecting the battery hoping the problem would clear. Any ideas?

check the cables in the trunk, they might be out of track.

Oh and yes check the MPX-IG fuse on the driver's side junction box. After those items...time to pull the trouble codes...if you don't have a scan tool, usually your local autoparts store will do it for free.

Thanks. THe cover in the trunk is seated in the track and I beleive I have checked all the obvious. I'll check the fuse and let you all know. Lexus tells me this is a strange problem.

Welcome to the CL Forum, Jackson.
Sorry to hear about your problem.
Although I cannot help you, I am sure VVTIBob or someone on here will be able to help.
Best regards
Steve

Well there is a slew of trouble codes...beginning at B2501 going up to B2552. I also discovered there are a few more fuses associated with the retractable roof... it's the P-Tray, Roof RH Roof LH They're in the luggage compartment junction box.

Update to my "top wont close" delemma....I manually closed the top following the procedure in the owners manual. It wasn't as bad as I thought, took about 30 minutes.....anyway found that the drive cable was off the track, as another member suggested it might be. Once I reseated the cable and completely closed the top, it seemed to reset.
I ran it through a number of open/close cycles and now all is well.

Question - The procedure that you followed in the manual, that's a 2-person job, right?
