Hi Everyone,
Could really do with your help on my Boxster hood problem.
About a year ago, the plastic connection rods for my hood snapped and the hood was all out of sync. I managed to put some new rods in and realign the hood motors by disconnecting the cables and moving them bit by bit till they were well aligned. The hood and clam shell work OK now but there is a problem that was not present before.
When the hood is up and the clam shell down, if I try to open the hood, it just closes harder and gets stuck, I then have to release the brass clips by hand from inside. It goes up and down OK as long as you dont go down far enough and activate the clam shell microswitch.
I thought this was due to the micro switches so I checked them and found and replaced a faulty microswitch that was in the passenger side hood area. But no difference. The only way I can get the hood to work OK, is to artificially tape up the microswitch for the clam (so it thinks it is closed) now the hood goes up and down on request, but when it is down, the windows dont go up all the way (because the windshield microswitch is open the clam one closed, so it thinks I have just pulled the latch and am about to convert).
The brake light switch is fine because the car wont convert until the light is on. The windshield release switch seems to work because the windows go down half way if I release it.
Has anyone had a similar problem and what is the solution please.
Many thanks in advance
