65 Cutlass convertible top stopped working

The top on my 65 vert just stopped working. I put it up and when I went to put it down....nothing. No motor noise or anything. I checked the circuit from the plut to the switch and I have power to the switch. I checked the circuit on the pump. Looks good. Any ideas? The fuses look good. I'm not sure which is for the top though. I still think it is an electrical issue.

plut? Not sure what that was meant to be but if there is power at the switch, that is a good start.
Are the wires that go to the switch thick or thin?
If thick (10ga) then no relay was used and the switch could be bad.
If the wires are thin then perhaps a relay was used and power to it should be checked. (could be powered through a different circuit than the switch)

Luckily it stopped in the up position...

Thanks Rob. Got it fixed. I had front discs put on. Looks like an electrical connection behind the MC got loose. It's good to go.
