Convertible top defect and warning light on 2000 Opel Agila: experience and tips wanted

Hello, Yes, I had a similar problem with the cables and the plug connection on my 2003 Opel Corsa. The warning light was on continuously and the radio was totally unreliable. At the time, the problem with the wiring and the connector was apparently really serious. My mechanic explained to me that it was faulty signals coming from the sensor (just like your Hall sensor) and that this signal was directly affecting the car's electrical system. In the end, the entire wiring bundle had to be replaced and the connector repaired. It was a bit of a hassle, but after that everything worked fine again. You can try to check the sensor first, or directly the connection or the wires if that is the weak point. Either way, you should find a reliable mechanic who can fix it. I think it could be a problem with your car as well. Good luck!

Hey, your experience sounds really similar to mine now. Of course, I hope that my Agila won't be quite as complicated as your Corsa. But do you remember roughly how much it cost you? And has there been any more trouble since then or has the problem really been solved permanently? Thanks to you!

Hi, sure, I totally understand you. It was actually quite a tricky case for me. At the mechanic's, the fault with the reverberation sensor on the soft top was quickly rectified. It turned out to be the 'faulty signal' I mentioned earlier. My Corsa has been running great ever since and there was no more trouble with the problem. I paid 95 euros for the repair of the cables and the plug connection. It's always annoying to spend money, but, well, when the cap light works again, you're happy. Of course, I hope it won't be that expensive for you. Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and painlessly!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! 95 euros still sounds humane, I was expecting worse. All right, I'll probably go to my trusted mechanic and hope that there aren't too many complications. I'm glad to hear that your Corsa has been running smoothly since then, that's a bit reassuring. So thanks again for your tips and fingers crossed! See you then!
