'97 sunroof works but when i tilt it and hold the button too long it clicks and then does not stop at the right point when I close it. After this happens enough times it seems that the cable(?) makes a full loop and, if I'm careful and don't allow it to "click", I can keep it working properly.
Full open does not click but still won't stop at the right "close" point until the loop comes around as above.
Sunroof control module?

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with my 99. I can't follow the link you posted. Maybe it was deleted? Did you discover the problem and what it takes to repair? Thanks! |

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with my 99. I can't follow the link you posted. Maybe it was deleted? Did you discover the problem and what it takes to repair? Thanks! Try doing a serch for "1099150253" - that' how I had to re-find it. That thread shows how to recenter (I guess) the stops. Fantastic info but was not really what I needed. I have not fixed the problem yet but I feel it is a bad relay or electronics inside the sunroof control module (mounted above the right rear passenger's head, next to the motor). I did do a disassembly last year and attempted to file the contacts on the relays within the module but they are so small it was tough to get in there. The relays were not sticking so I think it is more of an electronics issue with the module and I will be scouring the boneyards for a replacement ($100 new). Let me know if you resolve before me. |

Will Do! Now that nicer weather is here it's moving up on my priority list!
When I do the search of 1099150253, all I get are the 2 articles in this thread. I guess I'm doing something wrong there.
I had previously talked to my dealer about the problem and they wanted to just start replacing things because they said they didn't have any idea why it on longer stopped when it was closed, it just cycled thru and opened again. They said it could be a cable or control module or something else. They were trying to talk me into a new unit. I think that was around 1500 but cant remember for sure.

Moved to "Audio & Electric", since that's where all the other recent sunroof-related threads are.  |

Many of us have had varying sunroof problems. Mine stopped automatically seating between functions (full open vs. tilt), and I usually have to play with the switch to get it closed. See this thread for more:
