Hi guys,

so after I had a faulty sensor replaced half a year ago, now the roof is causing problems again: Trying to open the cab, the windows will go down, hatches will pop open, but then the roof won't retract. Is the pump dead now?
I have had a sensor in the trunk replaced earlier this year after the roof wouldn't move a single bit and just the roof light would keep flashing at me in the dashboard.
Now the issue is different, but still weird. I wonder if it just needs a reset of some sort... (?!)

It started after I accidentally let go of the (horribly placed) roof switch right in the middle of the closing procedure. Then the roof wouldn't move anymore and I had to manually put it down. After that it worked a couple of times again, until last week, when I tried to close it. The windows would go down and the trunk lid would pop open, but then the trunk lid would not go up further. Nothing would happen. Weird to me was also, that the trunk lid would pop open already while the windows were still going down. I thought to remember that the trunk lid would wait for the windows to go down to their half-way-down position, but I might be wrong here. However, had to put it down manually.

Can the system be somehow reset by disconnecting the battery or something? I've read somewhere else about turning the ignition key 3 times without starting, but that would't help.
Every comment and any help much appreciated!!!

Cheers
Jan

P.s.: I remember now that, after the first incident, at one occasion I had to try several times before the roof closed. (roof was open, tried to close it, windows went down, trunk lid pops up, nothing happens; reversed switch, trunk lid goes back down and windows go up, tried again; on the third or fourth try the roof would close the whole way). This makes me think it is not a mechanical issue, as it worked after the several attempts.

 

i think youll have batter luck if you post in the correct forum, this is mainly for B3/B4 body style cars
