Troubleshooting in convertible top operation: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Except for manual unlocking and locking of the convertible top, the opening and closing processes must take place automatically. Pressing a button in the centre console causes the drive elements to execute the pre selected motion. Various micro-switches ensure that these processes take place smoothly.
The motor is activated only if the following conditions are met:
- no speedometer signals greater than 5 km/h,
- electric motor plug connection is plugged in,
- terminal 15 connected via ignition lock,
- fuse B 6 (row B, number 6) and fuse D 3 (row D, number 3) are OK,
- parking brake is engaged.
The vehicle must be on a horizontal surface and there must not be any defect in the convertible top actuating mechanism.
Troubleshooting:
The control relay (double relay) is located at sockets 14 and 15 on relay carrier 1 in the footwell.
