Mazda bongo auto free top elevating roof.
Mazda bongo roof wont open.
With my foot on the brake and the engine running when i operate the switch you can hear the motors operating and the alarm bleeping but the dash warning light is not lit up and the roof does not rise one jot.
So i suppose it could be electrical contact as unlikely that both motors would fail as they previously worked fine.
Both can be changed.
Temp till you replace the switch.
If you roof doesn t go up or down don t worry help is at hand.
I use my 1996 bongo 2 5d a lot but have not raised the roof for a while and yesterday when trying to do so it didn t work.
The bleeping sounds ok but pressing the open button has no effect.
I made this time lapse video of my mazda bongo being converted on 9th april 2018 from 7am till around 5 30pm at a one frame per second rate.
Roof stuck open after motor removal hi there after a summer of constant use i decided it was time to clean the roof runners and grease up the motors because i m fed up of having to push the roof to fully open it and pull it to get it closed.
One is the two main motors at the back and the other is the two main gas struts.
Asfred created the topic.
It makes a set of soft chiming beeps have you any idea what this is.
There are two main points on a aft auto free top elevating roof.
The bongos originally came with a length of cord and an allen key to get the roof down manually in an emergency though.
I have a 1997 2 5 ltr diesel bongo and today my roof wont go up i have never had a problem with it before so it is puzzling.
If your mazda bongo roof is shut but beeps as if open this could be the problem fixed.
Perhaps you need to work out why they are not working.
There s a mystery button in my bongo.
