Where is the roof controller fitted

Post by jimmo62 » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:37 pm

Hi all

just wanted a clue as to where the roof computer is fitted, I can't quite work it out from the diagrams and I don't want to be pulling off trim etc in the wrong place. So any indications on were and how to access would be great

thanks

Not sure what you mean by the roof computer?

What exactly is the problem?

We're just in Nailsea and will help if we can.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

If you after that little control box thingy
Check the bongo wiring diagram threads in the sticks above
Or ask g8dhe who writes them he will know and can prob sort your problem
If no one pops in soon

I think it's tuck away behind a interior panel somewhere

Yep I want to get to the control box which appears from the wiring manual to be in the roof but it's a bit hard to be sure from the pictures.

No problem at present but I'm thinking about moving the control switch to raise/lower the roof to somewhere more convenient. So I want to connect into the wiring and I think doing that by the controller may be the easiest way

The control box is behind the rearmost panel on the drivers side.

Yup that's the location! Never seen mine as its behind the side conversion and will be a pig to get at if I ever need to :-(
