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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

Hi We got our first bit of nice weather in the UK for months this weekend. I went to put the roof down and nothing On opening the roof latch, the windows drop as expected. When I then press the roof down button on the console, I get the usual message on the speedometer display "convertible roof opening" but nothing else. The motor doesn't make a noise and there's zero movement. I've checked the fuse, and got to the relay above in the driver footwell. I tried switching over the roof up/down 404 relays and gave them a light whack but no luck. I tried putting my multimeter in the relay slots and didnt get any voltage, but after reassembling found an old 986 schematic that makes it look a bit more involved to test than realised - so likely my error The fact the microswitch drops the windows, and the console switch generates the message lead me to rule them out. I'm also ruling out the fuse and the relay. I do get some condensation build up in the car when it's very wet, but I haven't had any other electrical issues or any flooding. If anyone could suggest some debugging steps I'd be very grateful, else it will likely be a call to the specialist after the Easter weekend. Thanks for any help

A bit more recent diagram - for a 2009 987.2 : Note that all of these connect back to the rear control module - the one that lives under the driver's seat (in the US) that goes bad after getting wet. Does your spoiler go up and down? That's controlled by the rear control module also. Rear body control module: Good luck with this! Please keep us up to date on what you find out.. and when you have a chance, please visit: New Member Introductions and introduce yourself and your Porsche. Lots of photos are a good thing!

Thanks for the diagram, that's more use the 986 ones I'd found. The spoiler and fog lights all seem to work OK. The only problem I've had with electricals (which I think precedes the roof) is the lights in the front & rear trunks not turning on. I'll keep you posted.

On the 981 , the trunk and frunk lights not working, at least for me, traced back to a bad battery.
