If you can hear the solenoids then it would suggest your switch is working fine.

My first step would be to check the level of the hydraulic fluid in the convertible roof motor pump. If you’ve not done that before it’s in the boot on lower right hand side. You’ll need to remove the interior boot trim to get to it.

Alternatively, perhaps the handbrake switch is defective / stuck?
