Calling all Cabby electronics experts....

…you must be out there…Help….electric roof and retro fitted stereo only things not working…have checked and changed fuses, awaiting Bentley manual from eBay. Any idea which relay this might be?

Anyone had similar problems, the hydraulic pump looks fine and the wiring traces are sound, connections appear ok.

Any help or suggestions welcome…

Car is a 1992 Mk1 Clipper Cab

Silly Question.... you have bled the system because you can press the switch still and nothing will move but all will be live on the wires! :dontknow:

Regarding the roof, have you tried pushing the key in while trying to press the button. Mine is a little tempremental and it requires the key pressing in to operate. I think the ignition switches go on these eventually.

Worth a try

Cheers Kenno

ok thanks, will post in the electrics section.

Regarding bleeding the system, there appears to be oil in the pump drum within the required levels, but I'll double check.

Will also try the key wiggling!

Relays are in the boot, mounted by the wheel arch in front of the hydraulic pump.
