Roof Mechanism Fault 04

[hemmjonny]

Hi guys I have just got a Renault Megane cc 04 but when I try and put the roof down it comes up with roof mechanism fault if i keep pressing it will open the boot and beep again, then it will take the roof part way and beep again, then it will put the roof in the boot and beep again, and that's where it stops I can then close the boot manually but then I have to put the roof back up manually.

Any one any ideas where to start looking?

Just to add a little more info. I was playing with the roof today taking it down until it beeps then putting it back up but when I did this it put the catches across before it closed the roof it's like it's out of sync if you know what I mean.

Ok found a little more out today, so when I use the button the roof will open and fold into the boot but it stops with warning over the way I just have to close the boot manually as it says there is a fault.

Having a read through the book there's a bit i there with a combination of buttons to press if the roof fails. So i tried it and it opened the boot and closed the roof and the boot so i looks like everything is working if you know what I mean.

As soon as i did the part number I am going to change the micro switch in the top left of the windscreen as there was a similar fault to mine and that fixed it so fingers crossed.

Hi mate i am sure you checked but just to make sure was that taken from a RHD diagram?

Thank you very much

this was taken of the Dialogys disc , i have added the drivers /passenger side text , when i need anything from the dealers i ring and give them the part number i am interested in and get them to check its the correct item , save giving reg number and vin plate number as they can go straight to the part diagram and check

Thanks, on the hunt for one now.

Do you have a list/diagram of where + how many micro switches / sensors for the roof?
Also is there a hydraulic fluid bottle somewhere I can make sure its at the right level?
Thanks

I got a price from Renault today for the switch and they wanted £60 + postage

So tonight when i got home from work as it was not raining i decided to remove the switch and go round some breaker yards etc. So i went to put the roof down and just before it normally beeps with the fault i disconnected the switch and the roof went down without fault so no i know its just that switch at fault.

When i went to remove the switch i noticed the flap was not making contact with the switch so i removed the switch and oiled up the flap refitted the switch making sure it was making contact with the switch AND NOW IT ALL WORKS

I am so chuffed

Thanks to "freelanderuk" for your help and to the people who made and look after this forum
