Roof ECU/Microswitches/Relays

Post by WEE SMURF »

Hi Folks, being a Honda technician I have good contacts in the motor trade and due to a recent job I had with a faulty roof on the Wifes CC I have a collection of parts which I can pass on to board members at well below trade price, basically all im after is what they cost me.
To begin with the roof was not working at all and after checking all the basic stuff I went and got all the bits I thought were likely suspects, so to cut a long story short I finally tracked the problem down to the front R/H pillar microswitch, after replacing it and the roof being back to full working order I proceeded to test all the parts leftover one by one which I have pictured and each part is guaranteed working, and yes this did take a wee while! :) .
I have every single microswitch.
2 sets of Relays
2 roof ECU's, one is 2001,one is 2004, both worked in a 2002 model.

Single micro switch £10
The set of 3 switches on the same loom £15
1 set of relays £5
1 roof ECU £20
1 Roof open/close switch £12
Postage wont be any more than £2 per item or you can pick up if local to Fife.
Also if required I can fit any of these parts, I would not charge for fitting as none of them singly would take any more than 5 minutes.
Many thanks.

I am working on my roof this weekend but have a strong suspicion that the micro switch in the passenger side windscreen top (behind the catch closing bit) is broken... Is that one that you have?

Al, one of those WILL be the micro-switch, but beware it's less likely to be the actual micro-switch itself that breaks than the little black plastic leg that operates it, and comes as part of the complete striker mechanism (in the eBay link that I sent you). Once you get it off the car you'll see what I mean. Either a plastic bit will fall on you as it comes out, or you may need to take the one off from the driver's side to compare a good one with a broken one.
However if it's just a sticky micro-switch, because they're sealed units there's every chance that just clicking yours a few times will get it working again without you having to buy anything.
Wait until you have the part out before you get anything.

Smurf, put the roof button on eBay - you'll probably get £30 for it alone!

Hi Folks,
Yes I have the front upper left, but as Enright says, take it out and check it first, the leg that operates the switch is actually metal, they can drop out easily, if you don't have a multimeter here is a way you can test it , with a small bulb, an indicator bulb with the holder and two wires coming of it is ideal, you can get them aplenty in a scrap yard (and its a handy thing for all manner of stuff!) you also need 1 piece of wire on its own, you want to put a small female connector on 1 side of the bulb wiring, and the same on 1 end of the single wire, plug both into the microswitch making sure they are not touching each other, take the other two loose ends and connect to + and - on a battery, press the microswitch and the bulb will flash if it is in good working order,this wont damage the microswitch providing its a 12v battery, there is nothing inside the microswitch other than 2 metal contacts, been there done it :)

Regarding the open/close switch, I know all those bits would make more on ebay but like I said I would rather help forum members out than make a small profit on them.

HTH, Jamie. (WEE SMURFS other half :D )

Hi Jamie

I have taken out the micro switch and although the blue pointy bit goes in and out and the metal bit is still on it isn't clicking like the one on the other side so I assume it is broken,

So.........I need the passenger side windscreen striker plate micro switch. Do you still have one?

Thanks

Yep I have both types, the one pictured and the type that has a small circuit board, both in good working order.

Cheers Ash
