Guessing: either the "roof latched to windshield" switch is stuck, or the "boot lid fully raised" switch is stuck.

Hi, do you happen to know the exact name / number of these two switches (are these S69/1 and S124) or some other?

SLK 230 Roof sticks slightly, passenger side upon opening

I can give it a gentle thump and it opens. I want to get it working perfectly. I took the roof liner off and I did not a cable but didn't try to adjust it because I wasn't sure this would fix the problem. I didn't see any switches. I read a previous post about finding a switch and removing baffles. Where is this located and how do I get to it? Thanks!

Rooftop sticks question

Also, is this worth trying to find a dealer or other repair shop that would know how to diagnose and fix this issue?

[efair]

Where do you thump it exactly?

 

[Jeholc]

the edge of the passenger side of the rooftop liner near where it connects to the windshield.

 

[efair]

Could be s69/1 or s69/2.

Hand held tester?

Hi Leapyfish,
You've got a link to a troubleshooting guide in your signature (i've pasted the link below too). I think I have defect 5 (where the vario roof switch flashes when operated), when it says 'hand-held scanner' does this mean the OBDII reader thing?

I would expect it to mean that.

Here's an old thread about scanners for the R170:
http://www.slkworld.com/ask-dansslk/15093-obd-protocol-scanner-uk-r170.html

There are lots of scanner threads. Worth doing a search on site if you are thinking of buying one.
Different scanners have different abilities and price is no guarantee of quality, nor ability.

Have a look in your regional threads and see if a local might do you a favour with their scanner.
The UK regional map has locations for willing helpers.

@Zenman 63 @Seanhump are both in the Midlands.
They may help if you arrange a meet.
I've mentioned them so they'll see this thread if they have notification enabled.

Sorry I dont know.

No worries, thanks for the reply Leapyfish

Thanks for the info Avel Du, much appreciated. I've ordered a cheap obd2 code reader from ebay, I think my ML uses the same connection so I should be able to read the codes from that too (it always has issues lol).

Cheers

Dez

 

[devilman9050]

Well, my obd2 reader arrived today, had a few codes to do with an O2 sensor but nothing to do with the roof unfortunately so I guess I'll start with the switches in the boot and go from there maybe? :frown:

 

[Seanhump]

I think you'll need a DAS session to talk to the roof controller - not all modules are accessable via the generic OBD readers ....
