martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 My luck must improve soon. After cleaning the car the sun came out so I fancied a drive. Unfortunately the roof wont drop For roadster owner, this is what happens. Windows drop, seats move forwar the rear lock disengages and there is a brief whirr for about 1/2 a second then nothing. There is an orange indicator on the dash. And yes, I have unlocked the fron lock. Off to search now. Any ideas guys Quote
M350ZB Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry to hear this mart, not a clue bud, but hope you can get it sorted bud, best of luck Quote
nurrish Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah not good!! especially as its a rare happening i'd be getting out my Stanley knife Quote
jerry3167 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 What a bummer! Hope it gets sorted quick Martin!! Jerry Quote
Chris`I Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Nismo ecu Martin? If I hadnt seen Martin with his roof down with the Nismo ECU, I have pointed at that! Does the flashy light give any sort of sequence? I'll go look in the Service Manual and see if it mentions anything. Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 According to the handbook. "Take it to a Nissan dealer" Quote
cavey Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Oh no martin it seems like it only happens to you hope you get it sorted soon .......... Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 I will see what Nissan say. This should be good for a laugh Quote
jerry3167 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'd stick to this if i were you............. ROFLCOPTER Martin`s WTF Boat sounds nice! Quote

Beavis Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Might it be worth disconnecting battery Martin leaving it a while then reconnecting? Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks Dave I will try that. As soon as the rear strut releases it stops Colin. The sections are free and I have sprayed them. I can move it manually so its not physically jammed. I am pretty sure its electrical rather than mechanical. Quote
Andy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Not sure on this but a stab in the dark...is it in neutral and the handbrake applied fully? I have no idea if is makes a difference but it's all I can think if at the moment! Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks Andy. I have pretty much tried all versions. It has always worked fine. Its seems that the procedure is being interrupted. One obvious thing would be to do an ecu reset, doesnt work with the Nismo. I will disconnect the battery for a few hours and if that doesnt work I will put the original ecu back in to eliminate that.

neo Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 on my last car (206cc) there were about half a dozen micorswitches for the roof and if one was a little sticky or slow to move then the roof would just stop, was a pain to track down which one it was, saying that tho my roof only stuck once in 4 years ownership so wasn't all bad Quote

I think a microswitch somewhere will be sticking and that stops it moving further Quote
xStric9x Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Your not having the best of times at the moment are you bud! Quote
srobrien Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Sorry to hear that mate, if it's any consolation its absolutly p*ssing down here at the moment. R Quote

Chilli Red Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Oh Martin, what you done! It's not raining here. Hope you get it fixed before Monday, because its going to pour down Monday and you won't need it then. Quote
