choptop Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The rag top I have been advised will stop opening if the voltage/current to the hood motor drops below a certain level. Could be an electrical short somewhere along the line? The Nismo ECU I would not have thought would be the cause.............you never know though. Interesting what your local dealer says on the matter. Best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 As soon as the rear strut releases it stops Colin. The sections are free and I have sprayed them. I can move it manually so its not physically jammed. I am pretty sure its electrical rather than mechanical. Have you checked the fuses? Is it making any noise at all like it's trying to open, or just absolutely nadda?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 I took the car to the dealers today, always worth a try as the last resort All sorted. 1 hours labour and the mechanic checked all the voltages and sensors, no problems there. He then admitted he looked in the handbook " Take it to a Nissan Dealer" Anyway, as all the bits were ok he "assisted" the roof to open and it has started working now. Even though I greased the known sticky joints the roof mechanism has basically been clogged up with muck and wasnt moving freely. I had a great afternoon with the roof down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Glad to hear its sorted mate! When reading that post I imagined the mechanic standing on the boot with one foot on the rear window pulling the top open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When reading that post I imagined the mechanic standing on the boot with one foot on the rear window pulling the top open I am very lucky, my local dealer is very good.
