So, an actuator arm had come detached or came loose, was reattached and switch was re-programmed. Here is the service order below ... what the heck is a PARMINTOR? Haven't tried it yet to see if it's really fixed ... will later this evening:

#1 - MISC: CUSTOMER STATES
THE TOP WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITH THE BUTTOM ONLY MANUALY PLEASE ADV
Caused by
CHECK FOUND CODE B132/SA CHECK FOUND SLOW POSTION
SWITCH AND WENT TO GO TO AND CHECK PARMINTOR FOR SLOW STICK AND TOP SWITCH ALL BY SLOW SWITCH WENT ATIVE/INATIVE.

Work performed by xxxxx xxx (105)
REMOVED RIGHT SIDE REAR SIDE PANNEL TO ACCESS SWITCH FOUND TOP OF ACT. ARM NOT ON BALL STUD.
REINSTALLED ARM AND REPROGRAMED SWITCH. RETESTED TOP NO PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME

Sorry just saw this. Same thing happened to mine.

Something to watch out for on the 2013's now. Could you do this fix in 30 minutes by yourself?
