my 1996 e36 build date 11/95 convertible top is stuck no success with resetting. cannot find the fuse 49 thats should be in the trunk in front of battery but not there .Is there another place to look ?
I was able to use the release under the back seat top move the top both up and down. There is no sound when the top button is pressed with the motors engaged or not
Yes--I--Have--Tried--to--reinitialize--the--system--but--nothing--happens--when--I--push--on--the--top--switch.--The--spacebar--has--failed--today--on--my--keyboard.The--top--switch--dose--not--flash--red--when--I--try--to--open--the--top.
Ok fuse 49 is right next to the battery on the positive end of it should be a yellow fuse. Also check fuse 7 in the under hood fuse block and fuse 35.
I looked all over on the right side of the trunk in the battery area. I traced the red battery cable until it went through the metal wall behind the back seat. I could not find that fuse # 49. my E 36 has a 11/95 build date. There is a CD changer back there but seems separate from this issue. Thank you for your time and interest.
Ok just to make sure your top is fully automatic right? I have attached links for a wiring book for the top that shows all the powers and grounds. You need to check fuses 35, 7, 43 they supply the power. I have also attached a thread about issues with convertible tops not moving. Lets start by checking these fuses. http://wedophones.com/Manuals/BMW/1...um/showthread.php?658100-Fuse-for-convertible
My top is partially automatic there is no motor at the windshield part of the top Thank you for the links
