Default Convertible top wont open

New to the C7 forum, I've got an 08 Z06 which I'm about to put up for sale. Just picked up a 17 convertible ZO7 package every option available with 4300 on the clock. Top will not go down via the fob or the button on the dash. No codes open on the dash? Good to join you folks!
Thanks, John

There is a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box in the trunk. Maybe check that. # 34 on the diagram. Also, if it was only the FOB you would need a new FOB battery.

Ok will do. The remote start and the top buttons are the only button that don't work

My FOB worked for everything except putting the top down. When I put a new battery in it it all worked including lowering the top.

If it does not lower using the button on the dash then it has to be a fuse or some other electrical malfunction that may require a visit to your dealer for service.

Dont forget to make sure the partition in the trunk is properly fastened. Occassionally, mine will look good, but one of the two 'button things' need to be pressed in a little harder.

This was my first thought as well.
