Post Convertible Top Prob

I recently replaced almost all parts to operate the top (solenoids, hoses, upper back panel limit switch, 4 new relays, limit switches, and all 4 cylinders.) It has been working great until last night. When I hit the top up switch, I can hear a click, but the trunk will not open. I unscrewed the truck cylinders from underneath the car to gain access, but everything seems ok. I can manipulate different switches to get everything to work, but when hooked back up, the trunk still will not open. Any suggestions???
Thank you!

Ken, I think i had that problem with my car a few years ago. some where in the top trouble shooting book it mentions the audible click then shows you how to make a jumper wire. I pulled the driver side back seat out and used the jumper to put the top up. It was one of the relays on the driver side.
