Porsche Boxster Roof Diagnosis! HELP

[Dremzy]

Hi guys,

I have a Boxster Tiptronic S 2004 (986).

The roof recently stopped working and we had a mechanic remove :

2 x Black push rods
2 x metal linkage with white caps

This allows me to move the roof up and down manually.

The mechanic then diagnosed the issue as being the relay that was faulty, so I have now bought an official Porsche relay and i have installed it. What i noticed straight away, is that the windows now roll down automatically and the roof light comes on in the dashboard. This makes me think at the minimum that the relay was faulty.

I now try and use the button in the car to bring the roof down and can hear something very silently happening in regards to electrics, but the rotary discs in the trunk/hood area are not moving. Baring in mind that the push rods and linkage haven't been reinstalled, should there still be some movement mechanically, or is there a sensor to prevent this until everything has been installed???????

Mechanic tested the motor at the back and said it has current going through.

If i have the push rods reinstalled should everything spring to life?
