I left it 10 mins and attempted and it started. once I got it started I had the check engine light come on along with the traction control and the slip light. it has started every time so far since. any one have an idea. also dose anyone know who is good working with a convertible roof. mine has stopped working thanks jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Jamie, let me know what the fault code is and I will soon tell you what the EML issue is. Also remember that you have to press the brake before the roof will work. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would recommend looking at the following As said by ZMANALEX, the roof is activated by depressing the brake pedal and pressing the switch. - Check the fuse, if fuse has blowen, I would recommended getting it checked as these are really used to protect the device and cabling. - Does the indication on the dashboard eluminate - Do the windows open ( as I believe these provide a signal to the control unit to signal open ), then the roof begins to open. - Could be an issue with linkages or / and motors. Sorry can't be much more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 With your first issue it is worth checking that the brake fluid reservoir is right at the full level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 possible MAF sensor or cam shaft sensor on the blink. Fault code will help diagnose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam87ie Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cheers for the help guys I will try and get the fault code As for the roof. Windows go down as usual and chair moves forward but the roof then doesn't move Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Check the fuse / relay! http://my350z.com/forum/350z-roadster/315007-convertible-top-problem.html This may help with the roof problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Iv not had that problem with my roof but can you hear a motor working when u press the button after the windows and doors have done there bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam87ie Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have found out that it is a cam sensor fault. as for the roof when I operate it windows will go down, chair move forward and the boot will unlock for the roof to fold away. it sounds like something trying to happen but nothing does. I'm not that mechanically minded so I think I will need someone to look at it. can anyone recommend or know a garage that is competent in working on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
