Sun/moon roof switches

Whoever did the headliner may have cut or shorted out a wire near the sunroof if it's electric. I would take it back to them, tell them what happened, and ask them to fix the problem.

The motor and module is in front of the moon roof window, under the headliner. You can pull the liner down to work on it, but be careful not to pull it so far that it breaks. If the cables are broke or really loose, you have to remove the liner. Replace the regulator. Most times it is the module. It can be replaced without removing the liner.

only way is to diconnect the motor that operates it

On my 2004 Sebring 4 dr sedan under the front of headliner is the motor for sun roof it has a slot for a metric allen wrench. You can manually crank sun roof closed. Last week I had to do this to my car.

check the lights off delay check fuse for wipers or could be a bad wiper motor.

I have same problem. Below are a couple of suggestions from LincolnOnLine.com on how to close the sunroof manually. The first relates to a '93 and I'm not sure about the second. Use this info at your own risk. If you get a better answer, PLEASE POST IT HERE FOR ME. Thanks. Mort


Here is the text from my 93 Manual. There is an access panel in the rear centre of the headliner if it is the same as my 93.

Manual Operation

To close the sliding panel manually, remove the roof access hole trim panel located at the rear of the moon roof assembly. Remove the motor and bracket assembly as outlined to expose the splined shaft of the moon roof drive gear box. Using a typical corporate door window regulator crank handle properly set on the splined shaft, crank the moon roof panel closed.

Motor

CAUTION:
It is recommended that the battery ground cable be disconnected when removing or installing the moon roof motor assembly.


Removal and Installation

1. Operate glass panel until rear of glass panel is flush with sheet metal surface.

2. Remove motor access cover.

3. Remove two motor retaining screws.

4. Lower motor away from splined motor gear and disconnect electrical connector.

5. To install, reverse Removal procedure and synchronize motor as outlined under Adjustments.

Good Luck! __________________

check your fuses and relays and your switch if thats does not correct issue motor is bad for your moon roof you have to pull headliner down to replace motor


if it helps please give me thumbs up

I would replace the light switch, but first I would have a confederate
go around and jiggle all the door jamb switches while I observed the dash lights. Something is loose, often the brightness control for the dash lights is the culprit.

First check the fuses,then locate the switch and use a test light to see if the switch has power and ground.If power is going out of the switch to the roof motor and it does not work it is probably bad.

hit the switch again while you have someone feel the relays under the dash in the fuse panel.... the one that is clicking needs to be replaced... your sunroof should be fine after that.
