    Spring is here and today was a roof down day for Horace (1.3)

    So the roof open and closes fine, however the roof light stays on when closed, which implies it isn't closed properly but it looks fine to me.

    Now before I took to the forum I did a good search around and watched the YouTube video about diagnosing the flashing roof codes and joining two pins on the OBDII connector and then I went to download codes and diagnostic instructions from the video.... and the web link is missing/broken.

    Does anyone have a copy of the diagnostic instructions and codes or better still any idea on what this issue might be.

    I figure a microswitch somewhere but I've no idea where to look.

    Thanks in advance.

    Used to have a White Copen, but I sold it in 2023
    If the light is still on you should be getting a warning klaxon as soon as you go over 5 km/h
    The microswitches are located where the two clasps connect the roof to the window frame

    Yep the warning sound did go off as I pulled away last night but I gave the right clasp a thump and the light went out :rofl:
