Ok guys I have a 2002 max and for some reason my sunroof will not open. On the 5.5 gens the switches are a little different than the 5th gens, and the one that is malfunctioning is the one the slides back (closest to the driver). I can open it using the vent button on the right however that opens 2-3 inches everytime you press it so it is a P.I.T.A. also not what that button was designed to do. I'm hoping it's just the switch and not a motor but I would like to see if anyone else has had this problem. I'm not sure if there are different motors that operate each switch ( I guess it is possible) but I can open it with the vent switch like I said further up so it is getting power. Any help would be appreciated

 

Did you disconnect the battery recently?

 

Check your owners manual. The fix is in there.

 

I did disconnect the battery installing an amp. I'll check the owners manual thanks.

 

That's it then.... the reset procedure is on page 2-29 or something. All you do is hold the tilt close button down for a bit.

 

This happened to me before and I was like,WTF? But it started working again on it's own in about a month.....this problem is very weird....

 

I have a similar problem with my 2000. The tilt works but the slide goes like an inch then I have to push the button again. It takes pushing the button like 7 times before the sunroof is open. I is a POS. I tried resetting mine but it did not work. I also tried a new switch, but still no dice. so i uess I will have to live with it for a while before I figure out what to do.

 

If you want to perform the sunroof reset here it is:

• If the sunroof is open, press the tilting switch repeatedly toward tilt "Down" to fully close the sunroof.

• After the sunroof has closed all the way, keep pressing the tilting switch towards tilt "Down" for more then three seconds.



Thats exactly as it reads from a sunroof TSB. See if that fixes your problem.

 

I don't have a sunroof, but I think i've heard of this problem before, and the fix should be in the book.

 

I thought my car was freakin out when it started doin that lol. I did basically the same thing to fix it by accident.

 

Yep works fine now. I feel like such a n00b but that sure isn't the first thing you would think to do when your sunroof doesn't open.

 

Even worse when it wont close
