Thanks for adding the year. My search was for a convertible and this particular search query makes it force the word 'convertible' in the search results. The only difference with yours is the roof, chassis don't change.
It might be heavy-handed but you could always just disconnect the wires going to the trunk release solenoid on the trunk release, disabling it altogether. Then even you, could only open the trunk with the key.
If you can open the trunk with the key, do so. Then disconnect the battery ground cable for about 15 seconds, and reconnect it. Maybe that will clear the ECM and allow the roof to close and reset the light. Then close the trunk.
Good luck...
there should be a manual override button, lever or switch in the trunk. your owners manual should help guide you with this. it should be right under the roof with a manual lever to bypass the system therefore resetting it. also check fuses. good luck.
The convertible top motor and release lever are in the luggage compartment. From the Bentley manual, the following general procedure is suggested in order to close the top in an emergency situation. Main motor. To release the top linkage from the motor, lift the left corner of the rear seat to access emergency release handle. It is then possible to push the top manually to a near closed position. In case of the semi-automatic top, simply attach and lock the front latches. Front latches. Once the fully automatic convertible top has been released from the motor and manually pushed to near-closure, emergency latching of the top is possible by using the S-shaped hex key provided in the emergency tool kit(attached to the trunk lid underside). First, remove the the plastic cover over the latch motor in the front bow of the convertible top. Next, use the hex key from the tool box to crank the front latches shut.
I ran into this issue with mine. To get access to the back fuse box, obviously the top cannot be in the trunk. You will have to take it to a mechanic who I believe can override the fuse and get the top out of truck gaining access to the fuse box. I ran into the same situation where my whole convertible system was actually shut down, nothing worked. I took it in and got it fixed, but that is about the only solution, sorry.
