Convertible top motor intermittently working

Hi All.
The last month or so, the motor for the top in my 87T vert simply doesn't respond when I push the button sometimes. I'll drive for a bit, park, and try again, and it will work the next time.
I've cleaned and checked the contact points on the switch in the cabin, ditto for the heavy fuse that lives in the engine bay along the passenger side fender.
Twice I got it to work by repeatedly lowering and raising the emergency brake, I know there must be a some kind of sensor in the e-brake that I'm imagining must be the culprit because raising and lowering it seemed to help...can somebody tell me the easy way to get to that sensor and replace it? Is that an easy part to find?
I don't know tho, because many times now that trick hasn't worked, but driving 5 minutes and trying again has...any thoughts?
Thanks, Sri
