99 996 convertible top issue.

Have a 99 996 convertible top issue.  Had hydraulic cylinders replaced and tech forgot to attach potentiometer to cylinder arm.  Top would only actuate half way then stop.  Checked potentiometer actuation  and found not registering top movement.   Replaced potentiometer and and was able to get the top going again for one cycle.  Then just stopped working again.  Checked all microswitch pid data and confirmed latch is registering as well as side flaps and wing lid locking.  However potentiometer for wing lid is saying always closed.  Removed wing lid motor and set potentiometer to 6.2k ohms(not at computer at the moment and cant remember if spec was 5.2 or 6.2 but set it to spec).  Went through the rest procedure with latch and motor.  Still registers as only closed and nothing is working and getting timeout code 5.  Question is,  could the potentiometer for wing lid just happen to fail after installing new potentiometer for top?  If so does anyone have an extra laying around they would like to sell?  Thanks for any help.  You guys rock.
