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

Just looking for any ideas... I have an '04 996TT cab. I have had 3 instances where the roof failed to operate. I have the SmartTop Module installed. The first 2 instances I would hear a clicking sound in the back and the dash light would flash, but no movement. After letting the car sit for several hours and driving it the roof would all of a sudden start working again. The third instance...last weekend, the roof went part way up then stopped. I have checked fuses (4 of them), tried using the key and the dash switch to open. I removed the SmartTop module as well. Now I don't get any sound at all and no flashing light. Any ideas? TIA.

POST 2Original post

i had it once, let the car sit for 2 hours and works fine again. don't know what's the problem. i have smart top as well.

POST 3Original post

I would take out the SmartTop and see if it happens again, just to eliminate that as a possibility.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Riad, I did remove the SmartTop module and the top is inoperable.

POST 5Original post

check hand brake switch. does warning light appear on dash when hand brake is engaged ? Faulty $10.00 micro switch can cause this problem.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My model year does not require the hand brake to be on. I can operate roof up to 30 mph!
