Also, maybe remove your battery negative for a few minute..
Just some sugestion here  good luck! |
Well, I've done all that and removed the battery neg.
BIG MISTAKE!!
It did nothing for the CD, but, now the top will no longer power down. It just releases the locks and sits there. I did all the checks I could find and finally got it to power down, but it will not raise with power. The motor just hums. This top has worked just fine for the year that I've had it and the car only gets washed by me at home. I don't think it a water problem.
Of course all the memory was lost in the computer and I'm unable to set the clock. All else seems to be OK.
I find it had to believe just unhooking the battery would cause such a problem. I discovered after the fact that if I had just hooked a Battery Tender to the batt. cables there would have been no problem.
I've checked all the top issue posts that I can find re: hydraulic fluid leak, water problem, micro switch replacement, etc. I think there has to be a more simple answer to my conundrum.
I'm developing a real Love/Hate relationship with this car. BMW engineers just don't seem to KISS!!! (keep it simple stupid).
Any suggests from anyone is tremendously appreciated.
