It started like this; I put the top up but did not close it completely, expecting possible rain but also to use the car again in a few hours. A few hours later the top would not open, or close. The following day it worked normally. Now, a week or so later:

1. the turn signal indicators do not work (signals do, though)
2. dash lights stay on for a few minutes after the ignition is turned off
3. wipers - rain sensors not working, but if the sensitivity control is moved up one position they will wipe once only, rest, then move up about one inch and stop.
4. side windows do not retreat when top is opened.
5. top motor seems faster (or stronger) than usual. instead of closing gently 'slaps' down onto the top of the windshield frame
5. the airbag light is always on (possibly unrelated)

There are possible other maladies that i've not yet discovered. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery? Any advice on the solution will be greatly appreciated.
