This is similar to a solution I offered another member earlier. If the pump runs at all, but the top won't move, then you most likely have lost some of all of the hydraulic fluid. The most likely source of the leak is one or both bad lift cylinders. If this has happened, the pump is probably screwed now, too. Your best bet is to plan on replacing the pump, both lift cylinders, and all the lines. If you try to save a few bucks by swapping out just the cylinders (for example), you will probably be back under the seat to replace the rest of the system in short order. From my own (unpleasant) experience, plan on doing it right the first time, and you won't have to do it twice.

There is a fuse No.20 (15amp) in the under dash fuse panel and a 25amp circuit breaker in the under hood fuse panel that controls the top.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
You may just have system failure. As a first course of action, I
strongly suggest that you remove the positive battery connector and let
it sit for at least 5mins. before reconnecting it. This will reset the
system and can get your vehicle back to it's normal operation.
This thing really happens and reconnecting the positive battery
connector serves like a jumpstart to the vehicle's PCM (powertrain
control module).
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
