Orange light on convertible top power button - 2005 BMW Z4

Have you tried setting the parking brake before operating the top? I am not that familiar wit your exact model, but do know some manufacturers have this safety feature built in,

Need to have it scanned. If you get a PO420 or PO430, it's the cat. converter which is a manifold converter. Must change spark plugs also. Misfire in engine

Duplicate question.

Turn on the radio so the battery is engaged, or turn on the engine.

2 Fold down the cargo partition in the trunk and lock it on both sides. If the cargo partition is not down, there will be no place in the trunk to store the convertible top.

3 Press the convertible button forward to open the top. It's located under the circular control button on the consul. The button has a picture of a window with one arrow pointing up and another pointing down.

4 Pull the convertible button backward to close the top.

5 Use your key to open or close the top when you are outside of the BMW but still close to it. Press and hold the arrow button on top of your key to open the top. To close the top, press and hold the Lock button. The car does not need to be turned on to operate the top with the key.

check the partition in the trunk to make sure it is fully in the down position. if the light on the switch is orange then the microswitch is not depressed. if the light is red and the top still wont open then you have a bad pump due to water ingress from clogged up body cavity drains. this is an expensive repair.

relays are normally in the fuse panel on the left side of dash by knee.

I'd check at switch itself first. If you can get a test light on wires at back of switch, you will get power at one, when switched one way, and should have power at another when switch other way.

Check your trunk luggage latch. If it is not in the right position, the top won't go down...

There should be latches you have to pull first to unlock the top from the windshield. Pull down the sun visors, the handles should be under them. Then push the power top switch.
