Not an expert, but may be able to help. Need to understand a bit more, though. (If its the hood?). Has it ever worked? What happened to stop it working?

Hi thanks for the replies and sorry guys it is for a convertible roof electric , the roof did work but water managed to get in the motor and stopped working since then I had to use the roof manually by popping the motors out as the car was getting resprayed so the roof needed to come down I haven't put the motors back in position but I know the roof motor was working when the button is pressed but the horseshoe motor does not but I have also got another horseshoe motor that works .

First think is to make sure both motors are working, when not in position. Once that has need crossed off, use the wiki article and follow the synching process. If that doesn't work, then we have to track the cause of problem by testing each switch and power feed.
