After I unlock the cabrio top I press the button on the centre console and...zip, silch, nada, niente! Any thoughts anybody please!

Relay/Fuse?

I have to push my top up a bit by hand to get it going. I think that is normal.

is the top willing to close with the switch? mine has this problem and i went through the entire electrical system...EXCEPT the SWITCH. it works one way and not the other. just like the window switch acts up sometimes. it's my next purchase, plus it's a cheap start.

I don't have to do anything to get my top going - except of course unlatch it.

So I don't think that whatever it is doing is considered normal.

I thought there was a limit switch that stopped the top when it closed, and this same limit switch needs to be overcome when opening. Does your top pop open a bit when you unlatch it?

I should check mine again, it's been down for a couple of months. maybe I misremember the sequence. I need to close it up and wash it anyway.

Sure -- when you unlatch it there is a bit of a release so it pops up by maybe an inch or so. But at that point I just press the switch and down she goes.

edel,

when you unlatch the hood, you must push it up a few centimeteres, as the 2 long metal prongs break a set of relays in the holes.

this effectifley cuts out power to the motor, as a kind of safety device.

ie, your driving along, and you "accidentally open the hood and try and put the top down "
