Hi, I have a 1999 C4. I was wondering if anyone knows where the sensors for the convertible compartment lid are located. My convertible light is on and I think its my convertible compartment lid that is not closed completely.

Thanks

There are several microswitches.

Try a top re-calibration with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

If that does not work then run the fault tests to see exactly where the problem is.

Thanks Loren,

I was hoping to locate the sensors and trick the car into thinking it was fully closed, then starting the operation again. Hoping that this would fix the operation of the top. Do you know where they are?

Again, they are not sensors they are microswitches and the are on the drive mechanisms.

Many times a top re-calibration fixes this sort of problem.
