Sunroof Control Issue 2002 Maxima

When i got into my car today i went to open the sunroof and the regular pull back control wouldn't work, so i checked the other button that cracks open the sunroof and every time i clicked it it opened the sunroof a little more, as the pull back switch would usually do. I got the sunroof closed and tapped the controls a few times and now they seem to work fine. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and if it was a precursor to future problems. Thanks for any help!

Sounds like it needs to be reset, here's the procedure:

Once you open it and close it all the way using the switch, then try using the slider switch thing, and it should open. If it doesn't, turn your car off and back on and try again. This works almost everytime for me.

Off topic, but only slightly - Is there window memory by chance? My passneger side window auto-up puts up the window, then rolls it back down several inches (typical 5.5 gen issue) but for whatever reason it refuses to reset no matter what up/down/reset combos I try - if there's a way to totaly reset the windows similar to the roof, I'd be very happy. The reset button inside the driver door worked fine the 1st time I had to reset it, but now its useless.

Only does it with the auto up function, and I have actually taken the door panel off recently to check to make sure nothing is in the way - which there isnt. Seems to slide on its track just fine.

It happens to my 02 every time I disconnect the battery for working on the car. Reset it and I'm good to go (until the next time).

The window reset procedure is supposed to fix that. When doing the reset, make sure you aren't pushing the up/down button all the way into "auto" mode. You only push the up/down half way.

Yes. I know there is a reset button inside the driver's door.
