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.

In my haste I apparently bent a couple pins in the control box under the driver's seat, which needed to be replaced ($380), and then that needs to be recoded ($200 at dealer), and then they say I need a new FOB key ($175 per key).

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, I have a 2000 C2 Cab and I'm having issues with the top. It seem to only go up and down when it feels like it. This is usually after the engine has been cool for a while and I start it up fresh. For example, if I'm driving with the top down and I reach my destination, decide to put the top up, the convertible dash light starts blinking, but nothing happens with the top. If I leave the car there for a while (i.e. a couple of hours) and try again after starting her up, the top has a better chance of coming up (6 out of 10 times). When the top does decide to cooperate, however, it goes through it's motions flawlessly. My question is, what could this be? Could it be a fuse issue or the battery? It's really frustrating when it's about to rain and I can't get the top back up. Please help!

POST 2Original post

The convertible top is actuated if: LIGHT will be blinking 1. Terminal 15is connected via ignition. 2. The parking break input is connected to ground (parking break engaged). 3. No speedometer signals greater than 3 mph are present. 4. Engine compartment lid is closed (input not at ground potential). Fault memory Overview of possible faults: 1. Switch position implausible. 2. Button short to ground. 3. Convertible-top pot. Fault 4. CTCL pot fault 5. Timeout error 6. Calibration necessary 7. Supply voltage.

POST 3Original post

When the cov light is blinking the top will not operate. The 7 fault memory give are the possible fault readings.

POST 4Original post

Do a search, this has been covered before, also some have done different things to maintain parts to extend correct working order....

POST 6Original post

Just posted a nearly identical question last week. Have the hydraulic fluid filled. Pretty easy task to have done. I have a 2000 Cab also and my indie shop said the fluid was definately low. As a side note, before I had the fluid added I removed my Wilhelmy remote top chips (2 of them) to make sure it wasn't them. In my haste I apparently bent a couple pins in the control box under the driver's seat, which needed to be replaced ($380), and then that needs to be recoded ($200 at dealer), and then they say I need a new FOB key ($175 per key). Man - talk about ballooning out of control.
