If your question is how to replace the motor, I'd go to autozone.com for the basic procedure with diagrams. If the motor has gone bad and you want to repair it, you'll find parts hard to find unless you know an electric motor repairman.

Working on the sun roof and keeping it from leaking is an art in itself. Take it to a trim shop that works on sun roofs.

How do you fix a broken 2000 jeep Cherokee sunroof. the switch makes a sound when i push the button but the sunrooof is permanetly open?

The headliner needs to come down. Then make sure the glass is on the track and locked in place. Then check the wiring on both the switch and the motor unit. Also check the fuse. If push come to shove you may have to replace the drive motor. The other possibility is that the rubber washers that mount the motor have decayed from heat and vibration and the motor is arcing in some metal. If all else fails or you just think its too much trouble, take your Jeep to someone that fixes electric windows.


How do you fix a sunroof on a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee limited after the fuse is pulled and the motor works perfectly fine?

sounds like plastic gear parts up in the roof. The nylon parts get wore easily since they are in the roof and subject to extreme temps. If any of that mechanism fails then your sunroof will stop working even if the motor is still good. The fix will be to remove the headliner to get at the mechanism and then identify the culprit and replace it. The dealer will have the lil gear thing and it will be cheap. Good luck !!! I just finished this: took out headliner-parts-belts, etc.. The little plastic relay was clicking but it did not make sense motor was burnt out. I tested relay with meter and crossed the leads. The roof motor started to hum. I fiddled a minute and off it went. Running like a top. I think it was winter corrosion built up. BOTTOM LINE: fiddle with the relay first, then attempt the motor removal.

How do you fix the sunroof on a 1997 Mustang if it opened and now the switch makes clicking noises but the sunroof will not close?

You will have to remove the sunroof motor, and the sunroof glass. Then you can move the guide tracks seperately until they are in the closed position. Then you can put the glass and motor back in, remove the power source (fuse or disconnect wire harness) to prevent any accidental opening until you can get it fixed. Chances are that a guide track or cable is broken, this can be a costly fix. Do not take it to the dealership, they will only want to install a whole sunroof unit. Take it to a local shop that installs aftermarket sunroofs.

How do you fix the sunroof motor of a 98 Saturn SC2?

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.
