Need help with getting 66 convertible top working

I have a 1966 convertible. The top was in the final stage as the deck lid stopped half way down. I have checked all of the switches and relays and here is where I am in the process. After adjusting all of the switches and making sure they are working properly, with the top up, I can get the deck lid to go down, but when I press the the top up switch, the deck lid will go back up, the upper back panel will then erect all the way up, but then the top does not go up. The upper back panel relay plus the motor are still clicking when I push the switch. (The top motor and solenoids are working properly if I use a jumper wire on them) The top relay should be clicking at this point and the top motor and solenoids should be engaged. I reset both the inner and outer rotary on the upper back limit switch, but I am still not sure the the limit switch is working properly. So, I have ordered a new limit switch from Thunderbird Ranch. Does anyone have any other suggestions? If the new upper limit switch does not help, I will really be at a loss of what to do. Thanks for your reply.
