Just as a possible solution just to close the roof, remove the motor and try an manually pull the roof closed, if it does'nt move it could possibly be the operating rack that pulls the foor back and forth, in which case it will require dismantling the roof assembly

SOURCE: 2001 Eclipse GT Non-Functioning Sunroof

The sunroof motor is right above the open/close button inside the headliner. You are going to have to remove the headliner to replace it. Just a couple of screws and a connector from there.

SOURCE: Hello, I got a Eclipse(2000)

Sounds like the sun roof motor has given up, remove it and apply 12 volts to the motor connector it should run. If not you can most likely just replace the motor. Your best bet is to try and find a used one as parts for this car are very expensive.

2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse location of the fuse related to sunroof

It is in the interior fuse panel. There are Two possible locations for the panel you need. One is in the Left end panel of the dashboard when the door is wide open and the second location is at knee height under the dashboard on the Drivers side.
The 'Door Open', end panel setup is fuse 9, (10A). On the 'Knee High' Driver's side panel it is fuse 21, (20A). ALWAYS replace fuses with the same rating as the one you took out.

2001 mitsubishi eclipse sunroof wont open but i can hear the motor

Mine did the same thing...took me 8 years to figure it out without having to pay for a repair at a shop. When it lifts the centimeter on its own, push up on glass with your hand with moderate pressure till it frees up, then just push the button towards the rear of the car and it should open the sunroof completely! How i now have to open mine but its awesome after 8 years and Ill work with that...

Code P0135 from my MItsubishi Eclipse 2000. Engine lights is on. Suggested parts 02 Sensor? How much it will cost me to have it done by the dealer or can it be in the local car shop?

O2 sensors will usally run between $20 to $50 depending on the model. Hint don't go to the dealer try your local parts stores. Dealer will charge you 3x as much for it

Sunroof stuck open

The thump means the motor is good The linkage between the motor and the sunroof got either disconnected or broke off because it is a plastic link. you will need to remove the sunroof liner and find where the linkage is broken and replace. if you do it yourself maybe it will cost just a few bucks if you take it in they will charge you a minimum of $250.00
