See if your flaps are fully in the closed position. Mine sometimes are not and it stops the trunk lid from closing

Our mechanic told us that you can only operate the flaps with a STAR system.

On the right-side connector short socket #1 of the 4-socket switch connector to chassis ground. Socket #1 has a white/black wire to it.

No.

There is a 14-socket electrical connector located by the motor to the hydraulic pump. The flap drive motor is wired to male sockets #5 and #6 of the connector. Separating the connector and applying twelve volts will open/close the flaps depending on the polarity of the connection.

Can someone walk me through testing the micro switches by the flaps with a meter?
Pictures are preferable ,sadly I am more of a visual guy rather than reading instructions just get confused.

Ok I tested the micro switches they work. how to I see if the wire going to the pump is not torn is there a picture of the connector at the pump so I can test continuity. the flaps work perfectly but star says either one of the microswitches is open(tested not open) or wire torn. I assume wire is going to the pump no sure. WHere does the white black wire go from the micro switch on the passenger side.

Fixed , it was the black and white wire from the microswitch , had to rerun the wire from the switch into the trunk about 4 feet all said.
roof closed after 3 months finally
