F Type Roof not latched warning

Hi everyone, new to the club so hope I am posting in the right bit. I changed the battery on my 2013 F Type yesterday and immediately got a 'roof not latched' warning when it is absolutely latched. Tried leaving the negative cable off for 30 secs etc but the warning won't go and the roof button does nothing. Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received. Thank you. Rob


Hi Rob, the "hard reset" you initiated needs the negative cable disconnected AND touched to the positive terminal - this releases any potential capacitance charge within the system.

Not sure why your car should have responded in such a way - one reason why I would recommend using a suitable battery conditioner which has a "maintain voltage" option connected to the vehicle when replacing the battery.

On the basis that you changed your battery as a "like for like", i.e. correct chemistry and Ah rating - if you have Stop / Start functionality then your chemistry will be AGM as opposed to straight lead acid - then you may have to undertake a complete manual reset of the soft top roof. Refer to your owner's handbook for how to undertake this function reset.

As an update, non of the tricks online or taking the negative terminal off had any success so the car is going into Jagman Wigan next week. Fingers crossed.
