Convertible Top Module

Hi all. I have an AM V8 Vantage convertible and the top module has failed. I have some thoughts, but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I just sold my 2007 V8V Roadster. I have a brand new roof control module that I bought from Repants but didn't end up needing. I'd be happy to sell it at a discount if you want it.

But I purchased it because the roof would not move and I was getting a warning like 'roof movement not possible'. But before I installed it I replaced the fuses for the passenger door windows which had also stopped working. Once I switched the fuse, the roof worked! I would try that first and if it doesn't work then you will probably need to install a new RCM. If needed, it's not that hard to do.

The third time I replaced the CRM I brought it inside the trunk where SS module and tire kit are located. Less harsh environment and easy to disconnect if it fails.
Just disconnect and pull wires inside trunk. My car was not driveable if CRM failed. 90,000 plus miles since last replacement at 50,000 miles.
