I was able to test continuity on a few micro switches at the module while I was in there.

I then used this method to close the roof all the way and used the emergency operation procedures on the top latch to fully open it and resync the timing of the mechanism inside.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, I�m having trouble with a 2004 cab. When opening the top the latch retracted and everything stopped and since then the latch will not operate. I figured that the problem was in the latch so I pulled the top latch out to see if anything seemed out of place and everything looked ok. - I tested the three micro switches for continuity when closed and they all passed. - I activated the drive motor with a 9V battery and it moves the gears in both directions While the latch was out I tried the button and the top miraculously worked as it should, without the top latch installed. Clamshell opens, top fully retracts, clamshell closes, etc. When I plug the latch back in then everything stops moving the top all together except for the clamshell that will open and close. I then used this method to close the roof all the way and used the emergency operation procedures on the top latch to fully open it and resync the timing of the mechanism inside. I plugged everything back up and the top latch does not operate at all when I press the close or open button or use the key. The only thing that will move is the clamshell. I also pulled out the rear cover and looked at the clamshell drive and it looks ok. I was able to test continuity on a few micro switches at the module while I was in there. -The upper and lower switches on the flap tested ok (one open, one closed). -The clamshell gear switch tested ok. -The parking brake switch tested ok. -The switch that makes contact with the hook on the windscreen is ok. When I scanned the car I get code 5 for timeout. I feel like I am overlooking something basic that�s right in front of me so am asking for help in this one because it�s got me on the ropes. Sorry for the rant or if anything I wrote is incoherent. It�s been a long day. 😂
