Arrow SC430 Roof Issues

My recent problem was the roof retracted into the trunk and then would back up. But the windows won't close. I closed the windows with buttons.
Next time the roof won't retract , until I take out the fuses and put them back. I beleive the sensor that the roof is retracted completely in it is not actuating,that the roof is retracted fully, that is the reason the windows are not going up. Removing the fuse might reset the sensor ...Any suggestion to fix

Instead of pulling fuses you might try yanking the negative battery cable shutting down power to the entire car FOR A FEW MINUTES. This lets all the ECU reset. You may loose presets for the radio and seat positions but if it gets all the switches and motors properly in sync then those two items are minor. Next step would be to get trouble codes. ..there are about 25 covering the sliding retractable roof.

There are two possible ways. Lexxus Dealer or some auto parts stores will scan your car at the OBDII port for you. However the TC for the top are proprietary and may not show up on a generic reader.
