Been camping this weekend and went to raise my auto freetop roof the dashboard light for the roof comes on and goes off like normal but when u press the botton to raise the roof nothing, no sound or movement, could it be a fuse that has blown somewhere? and if so where am i likely to find the fuse any help gratefully received.

Fuse is no 12, 4th from left on the second row, should be a green 30 amp fuse, if you look in the fusebox factsheet in the members area it shows it.
If you lift the plastic console, there's a switch at at the back of the handbrake, quite often this gets damp, oxidises & doesn't work, give the switch a good scrape on the faces that make contact, chances are that'll solve it. Give me a shout if not Vicky :wink: .
Beat me to it Geoff :lol:

Shouldn't matter what gear it's in as long as the handbrake is on, mine goes up in any gear.

Seems to sort most of them :wink: Same thing happened to Hotpot when she turned up at the Bash, luckily she was pitching behind me, so it was instantly sorted, just as well as it was nearly 1 am :wink:
