Electrical 07 GT Vert Electrical Problem

[2RedOnes]

Hey guys and gals! I now have an electrical gremlin.

It started when I tried putting the top up. As soon as I hit the button, the engine dies. I checked relays 30 and 31 and the fuses under the hood - all good. Then i started thinking it was the pump. But I just found out that when the engine is running and I turn the headlights on - yup, the engine dies. There is a major electrical draw somewhere.

Now I'm thinking a bad ground somewhere. I disconnected the two hydraulic rams so I could at least manually put the top up. Any suggestions as to where to start looking or any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Howdy all. Well, are you ready for this? I found the problem and it's a head scratcher. I noticed that one of my sequential taillights wouldn't work when I hit the turn signal. When I press the brake, it comes on, but not for the turn signal so I know it's not the bulb. So, I took it all apart looking for a bad wire, looking at all the grounds. Nothing. I just decided to take that one bulb out... guess what. Everything works. Top goes up and down, headlights work, everything. Having a good bulb in a socket made my whole electrical system go bonkers. Obviously, I'm leaving that one bulb out and will replace the entire sequential system. I hate electrical gremlins!
