Hi

 

I bought a citroen pluriel c3 2004 in Germany two months ago , The dealer told me that the Electronic Part of cabrio is defective ,

The boot (tailgate) was closed and cant opened, so he suggested me to change the Electronic Module of Cabrio, but cabrio worked to open just a little .

I found in my country used part Eletronict Ecu of roof , I changed it , a tailgate start to work but cabrio no. After 10 km drive , the tailgate wont work again ,

 

I purchased a new Ecu part of Cabrio in England , same thing ,

 

I also found same citroen c3 in my city , I tested two of my electronic parts in another citroen c3 and they booth worked also to open tailgate and cabrio , but not in my car .

 

I also took from him the motor of cabrio and tested on my car , but motor wont move , I hear just one click on the Electronic box of cabrio when I try to open cabrio ,

 

After some resets with diagnose the tailgate ( boot ) started to work again , but cabrio not , when i press to opem cabrio i just here a click on the Electronic box of cabrio , and nothing happens .

 

 

If someone can help me with this please.

I'm from Italy, so my english can be ...unpolite.

Try to push the roof button, in close position, for 30 second to reset the unit. If you heard some noise from the back like an automatic gun machine maybe your mechanism cables need to be replaced.

Anyway, if you can open I little bit the roof, then try to put an hard object in the middle (an hammer head) and close the roof again. Maybe you will hear  a soft noise from the boot, then you will be able to open the boot outside. On my Pluriel this worked!

 

Good luck and let me know.

I know in England you have some good specialist that can fix your roof at very good price. Google for "Plurielfixerandfitter" or  Chevron Citroen & Peugeot Specialists.

Eventually, I replace roof cables and gear on my own, and now the roof works perfectly, and I can use also the boot. Then, I replaced all the interslides of the roof because two of them were broken. And now the roof close perfectly, too. I spent 260 Euros.

If can understand italian language, here the complete instructions that I wrote.
