The sunroof motor is located directly behind the panel where the "open/close" switch is mounted.
Howdo i put a sunroof motor in on a 2001 eclipse
could be the fuse, but the sunroof relay is above the sunroof switch attached to the motor, the relay is a possible answer to the sunroof not working.
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.
It is a doable DIY job. You might have a look at this tutorial; http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115688&highlight=sunroof
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.
Wind back the sunroof to expose the front edge of the panel, unscrew it, and remove the panel. Fit the replacement sunroof panel into the cranking mechanism, align the sunroof, and install againÊthe inner lining. ThenÊpush the trim clips along the inner lining up into the holes at the front of the sunroof panel.Ê
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.
It is important to know where to get the replacement parts to a car. For a 1996 BMW a person can find the sunroof replacement parts at local auto part stores.
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
