Remote roof down function inop

Post by MR BLACK » Tue Jul 17, 2018 9:22 am

Hi
What would stop the remote roof down function to stop working.
Been working fine holding your thumb on the unlock button but it’s just stopped. Tried both remotes and the roof goes down ok from inside.

Thanks in advance.

The continuous press on the remote does sap a fair bit of battery power from the keyfob - do you do lots of short journeys? You could try charging the fob on an electric toothbrush holder or go for a long drive to get some energy back into the keys.

Otherwise, it's a codeable option with the likes of Carly - but I can't see why it would suddenly un-code itself!

Hi ,
I have had similar problem with mine if the car has been stood for some time. I put it down to either fob , or the car battery having insufficient charge. Try it after you have been on a decent run and it will probably be ok.

Good luck
