Default Help - top won't go up!

Hi. 1990 C4 cab.
I drive and operate the convertible top almost daily with no problems. Put down the top this morning and now when I hit the button nothing happens - no movement or sound or anything. Where should I start? Rain is coming this week so it would be nice to get it up.
Thanks

Just checked fuse 13. Blown. Just blew three more #13's. As soon as I put a new 30 in and press the button, it blows. What would cause that?
Also, another I noticed: when I turn the key for electrical power, the blower (under the rear deck) comes on, goes of for a sec, then comes on. This wasn't the case (I dont think) before the top problem: related?
So what do I check to keep my #13 fuse from blowing out?

sorry I have no idea. Do a searh and maybe something will come up. Good luck
If the car is warm the blower will come on when you turn the ignition.

So the top is back to working. Took it to the dealer. Apparently some wires in the top were being pinched and shorted. $550 (no parts cost, all labor, listed on invoice as "classic model, special labor rate". Hmm.)
