my soft top stop working, the red sitch light is on, what could be the problem.
What is your question?
I have a 1997 SL500 with 57000 miles on it and it was working great one day when I had the top open as soon as pressed the red botton to close the top the engine turn off and I couldn't start the car any more, I had it towed away to a mechanic when the car got there the engine started but the top never closed, mechanic said car needs a soft top panel control which cost ove $1000, I can not trust the mechanic word, is that possible?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL500. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Try lowering the windows and then activate, if that does not work then it can be done manually where you have to go through the motion of opening and closing the soft top a couple of time, if system has been dormant for a while.
