Roof wont elevate.

I have just tried to elevate the roof on our Bongo but no joy not even a beep.

I have checked all the fuses and they seem fine. Obviously the weather today is very cold which might have some baring, also we haven't had it up since last September.

Any ideas?

Worth checking the wee switch at the rear of the handbrake.

And check the brake is on, of course. A few have een caught out by that one. :wink:

There was a similar post yesterday which suggested the motors were frozen :shock: so I'd leave it untill the weather gets better so not to burn the motors out :wink:

Thanks guy I didn't realise the hand break was off 1st time and it went up when I put it on. The only issue now is that it only goes about two thirds up then struggles but I'm putting that down to the cold at the mo.

You do need to run the engine as well as have the H/B off, just to get maximum voltage to the motors.
