Hi all, my cabby (power hood) has been at a local garage getting new springs and shocks fitted. They raised the horseshoe and left the roof in the half open position to get at the rear strut tops. A few hours later when they went to raise the roof again....nothing. No clicking of relays or motor noises whatsoever. We've checked all the fuses in the fusebox but is there a hidden fuse or relay for the roof somewhere? or a reset procedure? Any ideas as to how to raise the roof manually should we have to? Were getting desperate :cry:

Thanks for that Johnt will need to move it manually if nothing else works. Strange it appears to have suddenly lost power. Does anybody know if there is a fuse hidden somewhere or of any other possible cause (battery was probuably disconnected when struts changed while roof was half open) :?
