Thought I would share....
Went to back out the ’06 Z4M Roadster and found the battery dead. Windows down – top down. Battery is ˝ year out of warranty - I decided on a new battery. New battery installed and car starts without issue.
Rain was in the forecast, so I pressed the soft top close button. The top momentarily moves and I get a steady red blinking light on the center console.
Cycled thru open and close with the same results.
Fast forward days later after searching forums on both sides of the pond… and I can’t find anything similar.
Let’s try this… disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and try again. Can’t hurt right? Similar results.
As I sit in the driver’s seat contemplating what to do next (WTF Now?)… my thought was windows?
So, I raised both of windows all the way, pressed the close button:
- Both windows lowered half way.
- The top closes and it latches like before.
-Cycled it several times and all seems back to normal.
