2003 CLK320 W208 Trunk / Convertible issue
Hello all,
I have a 2003 CLK320 as mentioned and am having an issue with getting my trunk open.
When the top is up and locked my trunk will not open. ( will not open by the switch or manually with the key ) The convertible switch will blink slowly.
I can put the top down and the switch light goes off and i can open the trunk.
When i am putting the top down of course the normal things happen and when the cover closes ( the car piece that opens and closes where the top is stored ) i hear the chime twice.
I am am putting the top up and the cover closes it does not chime.
I have to believe that its the sensor or something at the spot where the back of the convertible top latches to the cover that is creating the problem but i don't know why it works when the top goes down but doesn't work when the top goes up.
All of this happens after i have released the front latch.
The pump is good, the fluid is full.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Read through through the following thread.
https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...-problems.html
There are more than a dozen limit/position/hydraulic switches that need to properly activate for the roof and/or trunk to open.
For example if the system thinks the trunk is open, the roof won't operate and conversely if all the stages of roof operation haven't confirmed completion, the truck won't open.
See the attachments in post #16, where you will find the necessary details (e.g. stages of roof operation, switch conditions at each stage, what the main switch blinking light means etc.) needed to further diagnose and repair.
