I bought a right-hand dr



ive roadster from Japan, so I would appreciate your help

 

Please be more specific. What do you need help with? What is the year? What model; Base, Limited, SRT? What transmission?

WOW! I think you are the first person we've heard from in JAPAN. And Ive been here fifteen years. We are here to help, what trouble are you having?

 

Under the 25-year rule in America, will this roadster be a valuable car if it goes to America?
I'm currently having a problem with the hood not moving. I'll post pictures later.

 

We are not seeing the Crossfire gain value like some hoped for. I think SRTs will be valuable by 25 years, but I am not convinced that Base or Limiteds will gain value.

But time will tell.

Your English is very good.

 

It's a roadster, but it's flashing red and can't be opened.The window moves down left and rightThe ignition key is difficult to turn

 

THe roadster top can be operated manually. There are videos on Utube. You may also be low on top fluid. There is also a sticky key fix. The search feature at the top of the page is your friend.

 

Ignition key switch problems are often fixed with this procedure:

A flashing red light in the top switch means one of three things:
1) The system is out of sync, the controller has lost track of the position of various parts of the top. YOu can manually re-sync by starting the engine and following the full manual procedure I talk about here:

2) THe cycle did not complete when the top was last put up. Perhaps the electric lock did not unlock, or some sensor did not indicate a full cycle.

3) The Central Locking Pump/Security System Module (CLP-SSM) is defective (usually due to water intrusion into the trunk) or the Body Control Module (BCM) is defective (this is rare).
In cases of the CLP-SSM, it is often that other items won't work right, like the wing won't go up and down automatically like it should or may not respond to the switch on the console when you try to move the wing manually.
3A) If the BAS/ESP or 'brake' lights on the instrument panel are on, the system will disable the top from moving.

 

Low fluid makes the top not move, but it will not cause the button to flash constantly, only when you press it. If his button flashes all the time, the cycle did not complete.

Thank you, everyone

 

Off topic, but I just wanted to thank you for making this video. It came in handy the other day when I was cleaning the rear window.

 

Hydro oil was full today and did not decrease.
I opened it manually using the video as a reference.
When closing, hydraulic load was applied and it could not be closed properly. When I disconnected the battery terminal as a test, the oil pressure became free and he was able to close it. Red flashing still not cured He buzzed when the red flashing went off, but it immediately flashed red.
Is it possible that the hydro pump is defective and flashes red?

 

Those pumps do not fail very often. I am very busy today, I will send a detailed message in about ten hours that might help.

 

Troubleshooting a bad top is complex, it involves many questions.

The first thing I try is this:

Start engine. Put top down manually. If there is pressure in the system, just remove fuse 5 in the underhood fuse box (engine compartment). 25 amp fuse.
Now, once the top is all the way down and lid is locked, put fuse 25 back in and press the button to put the top up. A top that will go UP but not DOWN is due to a bad divider switch in the trunk or a bad "top open" switch in the top frame, over the passenger's head. This is somewhat easy to fix.

If the top will not go up or down, and fluid is at a good level, we must ask questions:
Does the powered wing go up at 62mph/105kmh? Does the wing go down when speed is below 30mph/50kph? If it does not act right, you have either a problem with traction control system or the CLP/SSM.

Do the door locks work when you use the buttons on the key? Do the door locks work with the button on the console? Door locks that do not work are a sign that the CLP/SSM is bad. A bad CLP/SSM will stop the top from working.

Do you have any warning lights when driving the car? Brake or BAS/ESP lights being on will disable the top from moving.

Has the car been outside in the rain a lot? If water has leaked into the trunk, the CLP/SSM might be wet. If it gets wet, the wing may not work right, the top may not work and the alarm system/door locks may not work.

You must be sure the rest of the car works, if some other systems are bad, the top may not work because of that other problem.
