This is the second/third time this has happened.

Slide the sunroof switch back about half way, wait a while and then slide the switch to close. On a few occasions mine will not close. I have to open completely and then close.

Anyone else experienced this or similiar ?

 

yes, I have experienced the same thing. Sometimes you have to open it all the way and then close it. Sometimes, if I am closing the sunroof and cut the car off it will sometimes stop and sometimes continue to close. The manual says that the windows and sun roof should continue to close on aux power

I am going to have this checked the next time I take it in

 

Mine does the same thing. I think that switch is very easily confused.

 

same here..

 

ditto

 

Yup.

Also, mine isn't sealing quite right anymore. I have to use the "vent" switch to adjust the sunroof at speed to get a good seal.

 

Yup, some sunroof issues here too.

 

Mines f-ed up too.....

 

Yup...noticed that for awhile now...it gets confused.

 

I have the same problem once in a while. I read somewhere on this board some time ago that the motor in the Maxima sunroofs are weak and the dealerships have been replacing them under warranty (if they fail completely).

 

I think once you open a door, the aux power cuts off. At least on my 00 it does.

 

Mine does the same thing guys. Sometimes it just won't respond.

uh huh,same here

 

There is something funny w/ the sunroof switch. IF the roof is open and you move the switch too quickly to close it(like flicked it w/ your finger) it fakes to sunroof out and it doesn't close at all. Then you have to open and close the switch again to get it to shut. Now I make sure to move it slowly now, and it works fine.

 

i was playing with a 2k2 at the dealership and it did the same thing, i thot i broke it.

 

 

Same deal....found that "bug" the day after I bought it. As long as you move the switch slowly, seems to be OK. The swith has a "cheapy/flimsy" feel to it compared to my 97's switch.

 

got that problem also

 

I seriously forgot I even had a sunroof with this damn heat......

 

We have a 2k2 Pathfinder at home. The switch on the sunroof of the Pathfinder is far superior to that of the Max. Maybe they should replace all the switches on our Maxs to those found on the Pathfinder.
Much sturdier feel.

 

Do they look interchangeable?

 

yah....maybe you can buy off sepretley the panel in the pathfinder from the dealer and switch it with the crappy 2k2 one

 

sunroof problems here too

 

My sunroof used to open on it's own. And it happened once on the expressway in January. I'm in Rochester, NY. Snow comes tumbling into the car while I'm going 65. Great.

The dealer said they couldn't find any problems, but they "re-ran the wires and fiddled with all the connections." I was like "Great, so they did nothing." But surprisingly it stopped happening.

I do get the confusion problem too. Problem is, it's probably not a problem with the switch, but with the cpu.

 

You think it's a cpu or a code/software problem?
