Question Electric hood probs

Hi folks

I put the roof down on my MK4 cab yesterday and now it wont go back up I have had no probs with it before.

When I push the switch to go down you can hear the motor going but when you push the upward button, nothing, didly squat, not even the motor turning

I have tried the drivers electric window switch in it and still nothing, but the motor will run if you are pushing the down switch still.

Any ideas please as this car is seriouslt damaging my health atm

Thank you

if you turn the switch round on the pump(which is in the boot) you can pull the roof up manually! also in the boot you could try swapping the relays round and see if it will go up then you'll know it's the relay you need to change!
