w124 e220 roof problems + head rests

[mellow]

Hi all

Hoping some one could help me ............where do i start ??

i believe the car was in a crash and fully repaired, however the rear head rests deployed.....and are still in the up position, they wont budge and wount go up or down.

The roof wont do anything either... its just dead. it did begin to start with when you pressed the roof swith make a noise as if the motor in the boot was engaging. however there is no noise now ?

the switch light is contantly on......

he roof wont do anything and the switchies dont do anything....

Can any one suggest where, what to do to carry out ssome checks ???

I have checked all the fuses and they are o.k.......

Is there any whay of getting the rear head rests fo go down manually ??

Thanks toni

With the roof, open it manually with the key, it could be too tight for the motor and clutch, one of the limit switches could be open, and that is why it has stoped all together.

i've opened the roof manually and put it down, however there is still no life in the roof........

Can you please explain how i got about checking the switchies ?

The light on the roof switch is constantly on is this correct ?

Thanks
