Was doing some work on my car, didn't touch the sunroof, or fuses, or wiring in anyway, I was under the hood working on my idle issues. So anyway I get in the car and all so suddenly my sunroof button has no responce, it doesn't make any noises, just nothing. It was working an hour before I went to close it but now its just not working at all, and this is a major problem because it is slightly cracked. So now my sunroof is stuck slightly cracked open, like the weather stripping is up a little bit in the back but it hasn't left the car. This is getting annoying because now all of a sudden, the sunroof stops working as i just fixed my idle issue... :banghead::ohdamn: Anyone else run into these problems? I looked around on the forums and the only thing I found that relates to this was asking about buying a new sunroof motor, not actually fixing the problem... I checked the fuses and nothing is blown, and of course it wont work as soon as it got dark :rolleyes: so im gonna look into it more in the morning, but if anyone has any suggestions on how I may possibly fix this issue, that would really help in my search for the solution tomorrow. Just to add I was starting and shutting the car off repeatedly because I was testing my idle and seeing if any new codes were popping up after I finished fixing my Idle issue.
 
Havent tried yet, Im gonna take a look in the morning, It would be nice if it would actually function though... When summer gets here ima wanna ride with the top open.. (A/C delete...) :p


Ok I got the sunroof to close, I opened up the compartment for the wires for the sunroof, all good. So I then remembered about the passenger fuses, I checked them all and low and behold, the sunroof fuse is too small... It calls for a 20 and there was a 10 in there, infact alot of the fuses were in slots that dont do anything, and some slots that do something were empty, so I switched everything around, and put all fuses where they belong, the 10 fuse that was in the sunroof slot blew, so i trashed that and grabbed a 20 from one of the slots that dont do anything, popped that in there and the sunroof works now. Thanks for suggestion about manually closing it, I got lucky this time but if something more serious than a fuse happens im gonna use your suggestion to get the roof to close if it happens to be stuck open again. Thanks man.

PROBLEM RESOLVED
