Some times the resevoir splits at the base and you lose the fluid.
You need to take the rear boot card off and have alook see.
You may have a leaky ram too.
Or It may need topping up that's all.
There is a T shaped key that you can undo to operate the hood manually.
Get some pics up to, so we can have a look to see if we can diagnose a problem.

These have a seperate thermo fuse located on top of the fuse box.
But I think that you have supply there.
The T screw should be wound in for proper operation of the top.
Fluid needs to be checked with the hood in the open position.

Wiggle the key whilst holding the roof swith down.
If it works clean the switch out and the ign switch etc.

if you have a matching year tonneau cover there are disabling parts on the studs that stop the hood from being raised by accident with the cover in place.

just key in ign barrel.
don't turn at all, if it don't work wiggle the key and turn slightly till you get a contact whilst holding the roof open switch down.
make sure it's unhooked at the front. lol.
Hope that sorts it.

another favourite is no dash lights at night when headlights on.
Some times the light adjustment wheel is turned down.
I scratched my head for 30 mins sussing that out.
What car do you have, is it a blue Rivage?
Happy days, roll on summer.

It's the clipper auto with the crappy pierburg carb which I'm trying to get running right. I've got what seems to be a 'lazy starter motor' always starts but as if the battery is dying.chortle said

Are the auto motors the same as the manual??

Automatics have an issue of the starter being so close to the exhaust manifold so the starters play up.
I had an auto, ended up putting a new starter on it.
I think it is a mk2 one. Got mine from GSF.
