Howdo i put a sunroof motor in on a 2001 eclipse
With your feet and the biggest tool box available! :)
Take it to an automotive trim shop, It is about impossible to work on a sunroof and not make it leak
Connect the sunroof motor with the sunroof motor retaining bolts. Connect the sunroof linkage. Connect the wiring harness to the back of the sunroof motor.
My brother works for a Saturn dealership. He said if the fuses are good and the sunroof won't do anything it is the sunroof motor. If it moves a little bit it's either the cable or the rails. That's what the techs at the dealership told him.
Had the same thing happen to me .. you have to remove the motor. take all visors off and get to the motor carefully and unplug , the hydralics in the sunroof will release sunroof and close. This is a dealer part . Replace the same way. Good Luck !
When it doesn't work any more.
The sunroof motor is in the headliner, above the motor switch You have to remove the sunvisors and pull down the headliner to see it
Where is the power sunroof motor located on a 1994 Chrysler LHS
the sunroof motor is simple to replace, but may be time consuming. you first have to remove the headliner. take all the trim holding the headliner off to bring the liner down. once you are inside the headliner, remove the two screws holding the sunroof control assembly. Disconnect the wireing harness from the motor. 3 screws hold the motor in place. Before removing the motor, make sure the sunroof is closed and sealed shut. the motor is timed to the position of the sunroof. Do not turn the motor gear under any circumstance. once the motor is out, inspect the drive cables for any visible wear. Installation of a new motor is just the opposite of removal. the new motor should come pre-timed to the "Closed" position.
First, find the motor for the sunroof. There will be a manual override on or around the motor that you can turn to close the stuck sunroof.
