Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / August 2006Roof problems on renault megane cabriolet
I have a 2002 megane cabriolet, had a flat battery on Monday and had to manually close it. Now the hatch on the boot won't open again electrically to be able to open the roof. Renault say once the manual strap is back in it should open. Any ideas anyone? >I have a 2002 megane cabriolet, had a flat battery on Monday and had to > manually close it. By "a flat battery" I assume you mean the battery was discharged, but I do not understand what you mean by you had to "manually close it. Close what? > Now the hatch on the boot won't open again electrically to be able to open > the roof. Renault say once the manual strap is back in it should open. > > Any ideas anyone? Oh, I see, you must mean you had to manually close the hatch. Well, perhaps the circuit protection device (fuse or circuit breaker) is faulty (I would check that first) or the switch or motor is defective. You will need someone that is familiar with your make and model vehicle and experienced in trouble shooting electrical systems to diagnose the exact cause of the problem, so I would suggest taking it to a dealer for repair.

I have a Megane Cab and the roof hasn't worked since I was forced to raise it manually after the hydraulic fluid dropped below min earlier this year. Now the roof won't lower and whenever I turn on the ignition something beeps at me five times. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Dan Hi I finally managed to fix mine myself. Ensure the hydraulic key is turned fully clockwise and the release strap is back in. Just keep tring to turn the key back and forth & different combinations of this whilst you try to close/open the roof. Mine eventually clicked in and is working perfectly now. It took seven attempts of truning the kep back and forth though and ensureing all the wires were in properly. Good luck >> >I have a 2002 megane cabriolet, had a flat battery on Monday and had to >> > manually close it.

If you reach up when that is open then there should be a strap that pulls down to release the hatch that covers the roof compartment, when its open? You have to pull that down to open /close the roof manually and it has to be back up if you want the hydrailics to work again. Hoep this makes sense to you, I don't know the technical terms but that comes with being female lol >Sorry mate > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Message posted via CarKB.com >> http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/car-maintenance/200608/1 That's great, I'll give that a go anyway. Hopefully it will be as simple as that - otherwise i feel that my chequebook and I are off for a trip over to Renault.

However, it is still not fully working. The strap is now set to manual release and will not click back in. Given that I can hear the motors whirring when I press the button, I'm thinking it's more to do with the latch on this than anything electrical or hydraulic. Anyone else got any ideas?
