    Hi Maurice, Still having problems here. I ran through the microswitch checklist and it failed on 9, 10 and 11. It Passed on all the other tests. Any advice on what to do next. Thanks Andy

    Thanks for the reply Maurice, No, I havent removed the v-levers. I can manually rotate the v-levers to a certain point, and then it just stops but it is not far enough to attach the hydraulic rod. Looks like i will have to spin the drive cable as described in the other posts. Thanks Andy

    Hi, I am still having problems trying to re-attach the black hydraulic rods to the V-levers. I cannot seem to rotate the v-levers far enough round to reach the rods. Is there a technique to this ? or am i just being thick here... ;) Thanks Andy

    Hi Maurice, I have removed both the red and black push rods. The red ones looks easy enough to re-attach. This may sound like a daft question but how do I postition the black hydraulic rods correctly with clam shell? Are there any markings to allign to? Regards Andy

    I followed your advice and gave the relay another good few taps on a flat surface and tested the voltage and got a positive reading. I plugged the relay back in and tested the motor and It started working. Now I am wondering how I connect back the rods that I prised off to get the hood up in the first place. Also the hood warning light is now on. Probably because it thinks its open maybe ? Thanks again. Andy

    Thanks guys, I have checked the fuses and they are ok, also taken out relay and given it a tap or two. I have a multimeter and will test the micro switches tomorrow. Thanks again for your help

    I have a 986 Boxster 1999 and have been having intermittent problems with getting the roof up over the last couple of days and now it is stuck in the down position. I have read through the other posts and my brake warning light works ok. I have also removed the relay and given it a gentle tap. Any ideas ? does this sound like the relay has died ? Thanks Andy
