Roof doesn't finish lowering anymore

Post by Zoomer » Sun May 28, 2017 8:47 pm

Quick update guys, it worked last week once, as I thought I'd just go for a blast and couldn't belle it when it lowered all he way on its own. Then I tried it again a little later and blow me the fault is still there. I changed the motor today with my father in laws and his motor stops in the same position in my car so that's ruled out. So options now seem limited to
Hall switch, which I don't think it is now.
Roof controller ( which seems more than just a relay set)
Damage to a hydraulic ram actuator
Damaged pipe
I am off tomorrow so may end up taking the roof out, but one quick question is the switch that controls the roof just a switch or is there more too it ( another controller)

Thanks for all of the help so far
