200 CLK 320 top will not go down

I undo the latch and all the windows go down. There’s no sound and no movement when I pulll the switch up. The trunk is closed properly so that’s not the issue. Anything else I can try?

What is the status of the lamp in your power roof soft top switch?

Light is solid at first...

and blinks at 3 hz when pressed.
Should add that the car is a 2000, not 200 :-)

The indicator lamp should continuously illuminate during power roof operation.

When lamp flashes at 3 Hz (3 times/second) while the switch is held pressed, the power roof will not operate, because the controller has not received the necessary electrical signals, confirming that:

1. The trunk is closed and locked
or
2. The retractable luggage cover partition is not pulled out into its fully closed position

A couple of troubleshooting suggestions:

Whenever, the trunk is unlocked, the lamp in center console trunk release switch will remain lit. Check that the trunk release lamp is not lit, while attempting to operate the power roof.

Make sure that the retractable luggage partition has been pulled out into its fully closed position and engages the position/limit switch, that tells the controller that the cover is closed. The switch is located on the passenger side and may not engage if the partition comes off it's guide rails.

It was the retractable luggage cover!

Somehow it got dislodged. Thanks a million for saving me a trip to the mechanic and helping me enjoy the beautiful sunshine we had yesterday!
