Definitely check the fluid as Dennis_MA recommends. If you find that the fluid is topped off and the motor is happily spinning away with no top movement at all it could be that the cheap plastic gear in the tonneau motor cracked.
Mine used to ding and I could always get it to work by hitting the button a few times. One morning I could tell by the sound that the motor wasn't engaging (higher pitched fast whirring sound coming from top motor). I fixed it with a 93 1999–2003 Convertible Top Clutch kit p/n 12833536. It was only $12.
I can dig up more details about the actual replacement if you think this is the issue. Took me about 90 minutes and I am slow.
