2011 E350 Cabrio - soft top problem
My 2011 E350 Cabrio soft top is acting up. It will open/close only when parked at a slope, rear end up. When moved to flat ground, it stops working. The fluid level on the pump was a little low, so I topped it off, but the issue still exists. I inspected all around and there are no fluid leaks. Checked the relay and it was fine. Any ideas what would make it only work when the car is at a slope?

It might be a pressure switch that is misaligned and is only in the correct position when it is on an angle, as it is when you are parked on a slope.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know where this pressure switch could be located?

No, not exactly. But if you open the top half way so you can see under the deck boot you should see the limit switches.
