Megane convertible wire came off need to know where it goes

is it a microswitch? looks like it. is there any malfunction with top?

is it like on 1 side and there may be identical unit on other side?

hi - yes it is a micro switch and is only on 1 side. Therr is no wire like that on other side of car. The roof does not work anymore

Any luck with this?

not so far. was the top working ok before? have you tried closing switch and operating top?

Yes it still does not work but that may be unrelated a it was broken before this wire came off. I was trying to reset the roof when I noticed the wire had been bumped off. All I need to know if where the wire goes - where it is meant to be attached to

you may have to find another similar vehicle to compare.

and actually that wire looks long enough to reach up into roof assembly?

I do not think it goes onto the roof assembly - it must be connected close to back near where the metal cover closes. It definately runs back towards the back of car

Is this in the front engine compartment area, or the rear, trunk/boot area where this wire and switch were found? That switch is a limit switch, a type of switch used to shut off power to a motor when a moving unit has reached a specific point, such as a sliding seat belt or a convertible top.

Hi Rivermikerat. This wire is in the roof compartment - where the roof folds into when it goes down so obviously is to turn the roof mechanism off when it has reached a specific point, or let it know that the roof is all the way down I presume.

Yes. What you will need to do is look for a small bracket or mounting point along the top and bottom of the compartment. Look around the edges. Also look for a small hole where the clips in the middle of the lead can be secured. That should help get you closer to a location for it.

Does anything look broken on the switch?

Thanks - I have searched up and down and just cannot find anywhere that it could have gone. Driving me crazy :)

It's not a car our reference lists, which makes it that much harder for us. And there isn't even a Renault that we can compare it to in our reference.
