Hi everyone

I'm looking for help please. I needed to change the button on the control panel, usual fault with the button, before I got round to changing it. I started getting roof up showing on the screen & the audiable noise would sound. I put this down to the button needed to be changed.
I've now changed the button, the roof open icon is showing open on the control panel, the roof is fully closed, but I'm unable to get the roof mode to do anything at all. Everything else is working fine.
Can anyone help at all please? Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Firstly it would help to know which vehicle /year you have?

Check Control Panel for any diagnostic codes.

Check Control Panel Diagnostics.

Control Panel Off and wait 30 secs

Control Panel On

Press and Hold R lower button and then press Control Knob for 5 secs.

New Hidden Menu . Scroll to VW Diagnostics.

If there are any codes shown, take note and then Reset/Clear.

Return to Main Menu.

Switch Off Control Panel using L lower button. Wait 30 secs and Switch On.

Try Roof/Heater or Fridge

It's a 2017 T6 Ocean. Thanks for tip, I'll try later. I can sort the problem without a trip to VW

I'm getting fault 1000, looking at other threads, It's the sensors. It seems you can change these yourself or a trip to VW or a VW specialist. Any recommendations in the Midlands please?
How do I get the roof up to be able to do this? Any help very much appreciated. As I might attempt this job myself.
Thanks
Pete

The closed roof may be opened by applying power to one pin of the 2 pin connector block at the rear of the Control Panel. Using a 30 amp fused lead from +tve pole battery. One pin opens roof other closes.
