How to Convertible Roof Switch always active?

[khan.cross]

What is the secret trick to get the switch active even without pulling the E-brake lever?
I can disconnect the power cable from the E-brake switch but in this situation the dash warning light does not work too. I want the warning light still work as usual. The E-brake switch has to be disconneted from the roof switch. But how?

Go to the back at the top pump youll see two relays cut the purple and white wires from each. Tie them together with a lug and ground them to the chassis. Unlike grounding the wires in the center console this will not illuminate the e-brake light.

Will try that these days. Let you know the process. Thanks for now

Here’s wiring diagram just for a visual.

You can see the violet/white wires and how they tie into the parking brake and why grounding then bypasses it like mentioned

Maybe you can.
I can never fully read those damn things.

I mean I can follow the wires, but I don't understand all the electronics half the time.

I considered doing this when I installed my "one-touch" top down solution (a self-sealing relay circuit with a microswitch that breaks the circuit when the top is fully dropped). In my case, I kept the e-brake interface as a safety, because if I didn't, bumping the switch could result in its straining against the latched top until I either realized it was happening, or the pump motor burned out. Even in a normal case, though, I would probably leave it in place. You only need to lift the handle one click to allow the switch to function, and I would rather it not operate at all without needing to do something intentional first.

My $. 02, and worth that much.

EDIT: Bonus, hitting the top-down button also rolls down all the windows, so if I just want to do that and not drop the top, I can make it happen by pressing the button *without* lifting the e-brake handle.
