They have have sent the car out to a top shop to replace a sensor which was done but they need to now calibrate it which has now taken a couple of days. I have been reading all of the post on this site concerning top issues and have not found any info on calibrating? Am I being misinformed?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Great choice! I also have a 2007 red roadster with just over 13,000 miles on it, and a 2004 coupe with over 100k on it. The Crossfire top mechanism has many microswtches that communicates with the convertible top module insuring that the opening and closing operation works in the proper order. If one of they many switches/sensors are open or closed at the wrong time the top mechanism will not function. I doubt any top shop would have a Chrysler Star System scanner (for 2007/2008 Crossfire's) with the special Crossfire cable which would show which sensor is causing the problem. If a switch were physically out of place for some reason like being bent you could loosely call putting that back in place a calibration. I'm guessing they don't know for sure and someone is physically looking to see if all of the switches are opening and closing. Most likely they don't know about the safety switch in the trunk storage area, the switch in the trunk lid, or the switch inside the windshield frame on the right side. Sorry to be pessimistic about that. If they can find a Chrysler dealer with a Starscan and Crossfire cable they can quickly see what switch(s) are showing faults.
