Roof fault A696 Hall sensor

[RobbiZ4]

I’ve got the dreaded A696 code, I was wondering if anyone could shed light on which ram this sensor is located. Is it the ram for the clamshell/boot lid, or is it the ram that lifts the roof assembly out of the boot?

Everything has been written just a bunch of posts above yours! What's missing regarding the rusty hall sensors?

In addition I have a A692 for rear module closure microswitch. Is this the switch in the boot in the plastic bracket that the boot lid closes onto with the rubber bung?

Hi Ben,
Have a look at the following thread.

Regarding your fault code, #3 is your topic. Always replace both microswitches, on the right as well as on the left!
