Ive checked most of the fuses that I think it 'might' be and they are all fine, so is there a manual emergency pull cable to release the catch and open the window?
Leading evidence: 'Check most of the fuses' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check most of the fuses' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Will give the roof runners and mechanisms a good clean and silicon greasing when tackling the annual spring clean next week.

Would it be reasonable to think the fuse for the cab roof would be the same one used for the targa roof system?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi All
Some advice needed please on how to tackle a stuck closed rear window on my 2002 Targa.
Nothing happens when pressing the switch, so im thinking electrical fault.
I have located a set of full wiring diagrams for the 996 but these only cover the fixed top and cabriolets. Dated 1998 so i guess they were printed before the Targa model came out. Im struggling to find online a set of Targa wiring diagrams.
Would it be reasonable to think the fuse for the cab roof would be the same one used for the targa roof system? If not, can anybody advise the fuse number?
Ive checked most of the fuses that I think it 'might' be and they are all fine, so is there a manual emergency pull cable to release the catch and open the window?
In the past I have had issues (dampness) with the relay bank under the rear backrests, so would that be a good place to start looking if one of the relays is the control for the window latch motor?
Any help much appreciated.Thanks
Does the glass roof open and shut ok ?
My initial thought is its not fully closed and as a safety aid the rear glass hatch wont open untill that is fully closed .
There is a micro switch on the cables that tells the control unit its shut .. ill see if i can find some info on it later tonight for you .
EDIT .. to add pictures
Demort....You absolute Jedi Master!
Yes you were right... Just opened the roof and closed it with a firm helping hand to make sure it had fully shut, and the window switch worked first time.
That's made my day... was starting to think I would need to find the credit cards!
Will give the roof runners and mechanisms a good clean and silicon greasing when tackling the annual spring clean next week.
Many Thanks
:worship:
Targa roofs are a bit of a hobby for me .. ive done 1 or 2 of them
Post i did here about them a while ago but not for the faint hearted !!

Great post, thanks for that.
I am also suffering from water ingress into the n/s rear seat so will follow the tube clearing tips when i do the spring clean.
Thanks again.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
