Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I'd check for a short or issue with the parking break microswitch.

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

i have a 2004 turbo cab. The top will not open or close when the car is stoped. It works fine when moving forward or in reverse but as soon as the car stops the roof stops. Any ideas

I've owned many, many convertibles but this problem you describe is very odd behavior. I would think a re-calibration would be in order. Normally, the car's sensors work in reverse of what you're describing. That is, if the car is moving too fast then the top will not be allowed to open or close. Very strange. Have you tried the key in the door technique? You put the key and turn it and hold for a few seconds. The windows should drop and the top begins the open sequence. Try it!

POST 3Original post

Maybe it needs the parking brake engaged when stopped?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I forgot the car could be operated by the key I will try that. No park break needed.

POST 5Original post

I'd check for a short or issue with the parking break microswitch. That's odd behavior.

POST 6Original post

Do you have one of these? http://www.mods4cars.com/blog/smartt...rrera-911-996/

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I do not think the park brake needs to be set. I can operate it in motion.

POST 8Original post

On my 02 C4 Cab, it needed to be in park and e-brake engaged for the top to work. That's why I asked if you had a "Smart Top" unit.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I do not have a smart top unit. On your 02 C4 can you operate the top in motion?

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think the 2004/05 996 cab the in motion thing was factory from Porsche.

POST 12Original post

Agree. Looks like it started @ 2003? https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...top-operation/ Sorry, looks like my input was just "noise". Good luck.
