Hi all,
Appreciate being allowed to join, and thank you in advance for advice.
I have read dozens of other threads about soft top issues but can't find an answer to my problem.
If possible looking for some advice - problems with my soft top on 2001 W208 320 - suddenly non functional
Could be related to a battery disconnect I had to do to remove steering wheel to change indicator stalk.
Tried to operate roof yesterday - works fine usually, and no good. The roof will not move and there is no illumination on the red switch.
Roll bars did go up and down on switch but don't now.
The release handle triggers all windows down but that's as far as things go, and they won't shut unless key off and back on again - so think it's stuck in sequence.
I have run a rest on the Windows, and yesterday a reset on the roll bars but they won't move now (stuck in raised position).
I have plugged it in and no fault codes are stored.
Have checked the micro switch is engaged in the boot by the screen, and have now removed the bulk head in the back to check relay and pump reservoir.
Both look ok, I've cleaned up the relay and put back but no change.
What I find strange is that there's no illumination on the roof switch at all.
I have checked all the fuses in nth fuse boxes.
I shall replace the relay I guess, but just wondering if anyone has any tips on this?
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
