replaced all cylinder on soft top mechanism, top will not open.
Thanks to Krauss at Top Hydraulics, all leaking cylinders (actually 4 out or 6 but did them all, ) have been replaced.
Filled up tank with MB fluid, top closed, and tried to lower top. NO GO. Fluid dropped about 1/2 inch presume it filled the lines.
Topped it up again and tried. No movement on fluid so presume lines are full..
Windows in up position and they go down when i try to raise top. Nothing happens at the end of their travel.
Anyone have a detailed flow chart of the system interlocks and switches that run this system. Which module should I scan for on the OBDII bus?
