The sunroof does not open on 1984 230e

I went to open the sunroof but pushed the button to close instead and it sounded like it locked it. Now I can not open it. What could be the problem? I was told the fuse is good, but have not looked for myself, not sure where to look for this fuse.
Thank you for any information you may give me.

You can manually open it from the trunk. look in the driver's side wheel well there will be a plactic cover that needs to removed, underwhich there is the motor. there is nob on the motor that can be turned with the socket wrench in your car's tool pouch, or other. if you are able to open it slightly, try the switch again and listen for the motor to turn. If the motor does not turn, and the fuse is ok, then the motor is bad. If the motor turns, but the sunroof doesn't move, than the motor's cable drive gear is slipping due to wear and needs to be replaced (common problem after 20+years of opening and closing particularly if the track is not periodically oiled). I would double check the fuse (driver side engine compartment) first, then the switch by pressing hard on it. After 20+ years these switches do go.

My sunroof won't close

Some sunroofs have a open switch like the drivers window. You push it and the window will open automaticly. The button on your sunroof could be jammed so even though you can close it as soon as you release it, it will auto open on it's own.

Power sunroof wont open on my 2006 hummer. It just makes a popping noise

see technician immediately before more damage is caused to motor, channel, gear and locks, which would be even more difficult to replacw due to scarcity of spares

1998 Honda Accord Sunroof wont close all the way

I took mine in expecting to have it repaired and it turns out that it was just the screws along the left and right-hand side of the panel.  They were loose.  The guy told me that "it eventually happens" and that "it's only a matter of time".  He went on to say that "it shouldn't happen again".  So, check the screws on either side of the panel right where it's stopping.  I suspect that this is prohibiting yours from closing as well.

HTH!

ALL THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WERE OPEN ON MY '03 BMW 325xi

Make sure nobody plays with the car key after you lock it because if anybody push the unlocking button on your key remote it will unlock the car and if they push and hold it long enough it will open the windows and sunroof
