I have no idea about your electronics problem but there is a procedure in the manual for manually raising the roof.

hm okey thanks, but my manual is in German and i dont understand it.. and the roof is half closed, meaning the roof is in the trunk and the trunk lid is half open, soo i cant reach anything..

Not sure what to do... due to access needed to boot... I need sleep
If you leave ign off roof should drop by itself..

Can you remove the controller you fitted and try again??

Manual available in english in tech sticky above

thanks alot for the manual Bazzel.

but how do i get the trunk lid down ? its stuck and doesnt move when i push the button :\ need it down to access the trunk to getthe roof up i guess.. :\

With key out of igniton roof "should" drop of its own accord...
Flashing light is normally related to a sensor switch.

Yours sounds like its stuck mechanically. Dont force anything.
I cant help much more being 300,000 kilometeres away

Also contact kit vendor.

Good luck

do you know any ways to get the trunklid down ? or have a picture of where i can find the sw's .. in the manual i find a way to get the roof emergency closed.. but not an emergency opening.. and to get it open you need access to the trunk, witch i cant since the lid is open like when the roof goes down..

sorry for my bad english

thanks for helping me

Dont worry about bad english, Im Australian

Ive posted an assortment of pix but Im not sure what help they will be. If it is a hydraulic lock?? undoing the bleed allen headed nut on pump "may" make it dop

""CAUTION DANGER""

(you may also loose your arm so have roof propped up and a friend helping when inserting any body parts in there)

Im sorry but that is all I can offer .

Thanks Bazzle! yuo do a great job, I am very thankfull

ill check it out tomorrow,,,

i took away the autmatic roof controller today and out the wireing back like it was before i installed it, the same happens, only slow blinking on the roof button, and i cant lower or raise my windows with the windows buttons.. but i can lower the windows when i pull the roof button fast twice? strange or is this normal ?

if its a problem with the roof stoped in a faulty possision is that why windows wont move with the window buttons ?

Had the car at a shop today and read out the codes, but they didnt find any errors on the roof, but they told me that the ABS sensor was faulty, can that make the roof stop working ? they said it could make the roof stop acting becouse the car didnt know if it was moving or not when that sensor didnt work, anyone have the schematic for that ABS sensor on the Right rear wheel ?

please i need some advices here that N10-3 unit costs 1220 usd hope i dont need to replace that

Yes I believe it can.
Have you tried checking for wire damage or dirt on tone ring?
