Pluriel roof stuck open

If you need help with your C3 Pluriel, that seems specific to the Pluriel (like the roof), ask here. Engine and Transmission problem must be asked in the relevant topic for the problem. The Pluriel shares the same Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Transmission as the other C3 models (see above for the correct section).

Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?

The roof was working and then it started losing where it was. When it got to the last section and you pressed the button to close the last section it went backwards instead of forwards.

Replaced the interior switch in the hope it was just that and now it doesnt work at all. No sounds coming from the motor and the roof doesn't move. It has never done the machine gun noise that others have mentioned so we don't think it is that. The boot opens and closes fine.

Does anyone have any ideas as currently stuck open in the great British weather?

Thanks in advance 😊

With no power to the motors, then maybe you have a blown fuse?

Have you checked all the fuses? I don't know where the fuse for the roof motors is (or even if there is one) but it must be worth a look?

C3 fuse boxes are here and the pluriel closely follows the other C3 models for electronics/electrical.
