2G Power sunroof doesn't work

[Armbar]

Ok so here's my deal...my 97 Talon has a factory power sunroof, but it doesn't work. It's not as if it only cracks open and doesn't slide back or something like that. I push the button and nothing at all happens. Can't even hear the motor try to open it. Now, I've noticed that if you disconnect the passenger side window button that you can't roll it down even by pushing the button on the driver's side.

I don't know if it's connected in any way, but I'm hoping so. The rearview mirror is missing, and the plug for it is just hanging out up there. Does anyone know if that being unplugged would cut power to the sunroof controls? I'd rather not figure out how to tear apart my roof to dig around up there if it'll be easier to simply splice a couple wires together from a non-existent mirror.

Wow, nobody's even looked at this yet and it's almost to the bottom of the page. Awesome.

check your book and see if its on the same relay, or take alligator clips with a wire attached and start attaching it to shit and see if it helps, or just rip off the headliner... it will lighten your car anyway

>>Check fuse No. 8 10 amp AND No. 17 20 amp (sunroof ECU)

You need BOTH for the sunroof to operate... ODDLY, it seems like the driver's door switch may affect the sunroof's operation for some reason.

I attached the wiring diagram. I would also check the switch since it's easy to get to. Disassembling the sunroof to get to control unit seems difficult. But I could be wrong, I've never done it.

Wow, thanks EuroDriver! I'll definately start with the fuses since that would be the easiest fix. If not, then to the switch I go. Thanks a bunch.

Im having this issue and still cant find the problem. i hear the motor working the rails are greased and were working before.but the little plastic gear doesn't work it pops out. Please help

Still having this problem? What plastic gear are your referring to?

 

[skunkdeez0079]

Problem fixed on my end .it was the motor for the sunroof . And as far as the plastic piece. it sits in the middle of the motor and it turns as you push the button for the sunroof to work. That got stuck open and sometimes closed but i guess its supposed to be open

Check fuses, next check power before and after the switch

Where does the sunroof wiring connect to?
