UK_350z Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Evening all. So it's been a year I've had the car and the roof issue has yet to be resolved. It's been to 4 roof "specialist", nissan nismo centre and a number of parts have been replaced. Still nothing, but I'm going to keep persevering until I can't preserver anymore. Would anyone happen to know the location of the soft top control module on a Roadster? I've gone through the parts catalogue and couldn't see it. Picture1 for reference. I've got a new theory for why my roof isn't working and it may have to with the module. My thinking is that the roof module supplies power to both the 5th bow motor and to the roof lid lock latch (picture 2) if a faulty module is the case then that would explain why no power is getting to both the 5th bow motor and roof lid latch. Replacing the module with a working one *could* work. Although I stand to be corrected I really, really hope this is the case I'm I barking up the wrong tree or is there any logic in my theory? A fellow group member has very kindly offered to help me out this weekend and work on my roof, so everyone cross everything for your fellow Z owner.

Stutopia Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Try Zmanalex, he’s taken a roadster to pieces and put it back together again, at least 5 times. He’ll probably have a used module too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_350z Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Thank you Alex, just what I needed. Does my logic seem, er, logical?! If the control unit is faulty then it could cause the issues I'm having, right? The power to the latch lock and bow motor needs to come from somewhere, would it be here?

ZMANALEX Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yes, the power has to come from the control unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last question (hopefully) is there a way of manually opening the latch under the 5th bow? ? I'm here with a friend trying to get to the control unit, unsuccessfully so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decan35 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hey everyone! Has this problem been solved yet? I have a 350z roadster that was bought wrecked in an auction and we were never able to find out if the soft top was working. Fast forward to today and we've fixed almost everything but the top doesn't do anything. The light on the dash pops on when you press the "open top" button but nothing happens. Anything helps, Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
