So I just acquired another vert with a non working roof, originally when I got it there was no signs of life (no movement, no errors or anything) swapped in a SID from a vert and started getting error messages but still no movement. Tested all the microswitches and the main ram shows about 0 ohms on the top microswitch when in the fully extended (roof closed) position like it should but also about 300 ohms on bottom microswitch (should be infinite with the ram fully extended), so I cut the wire (shouldn't matter till the ram fully retracts with the roof in the storage bag).
I now get signs of life, the 5th bow unlatches and the pump runs, but I get no movement of the 5th bow. It acts like there is a fluid leak or no fluid, but the reservoir is half full (like it should be) and I'm not losing any fluid. So I either have a problem with the valves (be it not being controlled properly or physically not opening/closing when they should), the pump isn't pumping any fluid despite the motor running or I have a blockage somewhere. I don't think I have a blockage since I can move the 5th bow by hand after the valves return to their resting position after 30 seconds and I think that also means the valves are good. I also don't think it's a problem with the pump since I did get the torneau cover to open and main rams to close the roof after manually opening the roof but then it failed at the point of the 5th bow raising (though that was before I found the issue with the main ram microswitch).
Any ideas?
