So here I have my CLK 2002 W208 which has been having an issue with the softop for some time now, the issue with the roof was also preventing me from opening the boot as the VDO was suggesting the soft top was partially open at all times. well it turns out the VDO was faulty and not the microswitches.

The alarm system may not work due to the after market Radio as the Radio, Alarm and a few other systems are fiberoptic and if one isn't complete... None will work.

I had the radio in the car for 7 years now and never had issues with the alarm siren. That’s why am not sure that would be the issue.

Glad the issue with the roof is solved

Do you have any any information on how to check every micro switch? I picked one up the other day love it but the roof doesn’t work. Symptoms like yours: boot not opening etc. My roof button doesn’t light up at all but when I drive, the car chimes as if the roof isn’t closed properly. I’ve got another working clk so tried the known working ecu and it didn’t work unfortunately. I’m thinking it could be the bow lock switch but I’m unsure how to test them all. Struggling to find any information

Hope you find the culprit.
