Suggestion

Also, once the roof fully closes and the red dash light goes out, quickly pull the fuse for the top and leave it out for a day - may reset the memory of the top.

this bypasses the handbrake and switch and the roof will run with no safety stops fully open and fully closed .

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi good morning, I have 996 cab and put a new battery on it it and the roof now opens on its own accord? Any help would be much appreciated .

POST 2Original post

What happens once its fully open? Does the red light on the dash go off? Can you put it back up once its gone down? If so what happens then?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Alex, I didn't notice any dash lights, the roof even went back up by itself as well, seems to have a mind of its own. When nothing happened could put up and down as normal . Had to disconnect battery to stop it.

POST 4Original post

:welcome: Someone will move this to the 996 section :thumb:

POST 5Original post

Do you have a smart top ecu fitted? Also, once the roof fully closes and the red dash light goes out, quickly pull the fuse for the top and leave it out for a day - may reset the memory of the top. Letting the handbrake off when it shuts will instantly deactivate the roof op to then give you chance to remove the fuse.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Alex, I don't know about ECU I'm afraid . I will try what you have suggested and let you know outcome, I must admit I've never used the handbrake

POST 8Original post

The handbrake has to be on to make the roof work. If its off it deactivates any roof operation........or should so.

POST 9Original post

Can i just confirm .. the roof opens , then closes then opens ad infinitum ? Logically that's not possible !! The control unit operates the roof , there are no relays .. even if the switch was stuck it wouldn,t cause this .. There is only one way if i wanted this to happen could i cause it .. I would use a tester and do a calibration run on the roof .. this bypasses the handbrake and switch and the roof will run with no safety stops fully open and fully closed . I can only assume the control unit which is on the rear bulkhead and behind the hoop has got in a right state .. For me .. i would have a tester on the car and see what that particular control unit could tell me .. It's not something i've ever seen though . I'm with Alex here but i would say disconnect the battery for a few hours and recheck . I take it there where no issues connecting the new battery ??
