My 350z Roadster started going down about half way a couple of months ago. I would stop and restart and it would go down.

Just yesterday, it stopped going down at all. The power windows go down, the passenger seat does NOT go up and I hear a clicking sound like the latch is trying to release. Also my power seats are not working on that passenger side as well. I do not know if the top will not go down because the passenger seat will not go up??

Can anyone help me with the passenger power seat issue or do I need a new 5th bow motor?

 

Check out the RF section of the shop manual:

If you start at page RF-37 it goes through the flow of everything that should be happening to open the top and what to check to determine if all conditions are met. This is very handy for narrowing down exactly what the car is trying to do. You'll be able to figure out what the sound is and what-not as well.

 

Thanks! That is a great resource.
