odd one today

[peanutcrusher]

i parked up today put the roof up this was all fine. came to the end of the when to put the roof as normal but when i started the van no beeping and no roof light showing on the dash
pressed the close button but nothing happened
i went round pressed the roof cancel button up in the roof the beeping then start and i could close the roof, however it did not stop it closed all the way down.
anyone got any ideas?

Sorry but I'm missing the problem here.
If you pressed the roof cancel button and the roof came down, not sure what the issue is?
It won't come down if the ignition isn't on and the roof cancel button isn't pressed anyway.
Sounds normal to me!!

try it again it might have just been a blip mine did this once and never again = always stops and then starts again when the button is pushed for a second time.

When bringing the roof down it always stoppes 2/3s of the way down so as to check nothing is caught up, etc. This is perfectly normal.

The sunroof on the tin top's the same...
Stops about 1/2 to 2,3rds the way shut.. Re press the button, & it carries on till closed!

the problem is that the van did not seem to know the roof was up in the first case so i could close it.

Sounds like one of the microswitches may be starting to play up.

Yep! Same switch... (No beep.) Though the later Tin Top's don't have sunroofs fitted apparently... Certainly the later ones i've seen! http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... 1of02.html

Sorry got that the wrong way round.


Something on the Bongo that could be electric, but isn't - now that would be novel.
