[s-cars] Sunroof not bringing much sunshine ...

[Lewis Consulting]

Thnks Bill,
 
When I use the key to close, my switch has always remained where it was... is it suppose to return
to vertical if you remotely close the roof?  Some of my sunroof symptoms before was that upon
sliding forward it would stop 2/3 of the way, then I would have to switch to the pop up mode, then
close it.  
 
Thanks Bill... I will venture into the switch !

Randy,

My fix had to do with the dial control not returning to 12 and 6 oclock whenst the SR was closed.

I "think" your issue (i.e. dead SR) sounds more like an electrical issue. maybe a fuse, but that's
too easy.

My guess is that an old and sticky SR could over power a relay and burn out a trace connection on
the circuit board inside.

(btdt with cabrio window relay)

If you can find the SR relay perhaps you can open it, find the burned out spot and solder it up.
This may be a stretch but it may work.

The larger issue is to lube up the SR and get it working properly so it doesn't draw too many amps.

If you do open the SR control panel and should you venture in to opening the switch, at first glance
(IIRC) one of the contacts may appear to be worn out.

I believe a much closer inspection will show that this is how it was designed.  Look with a
magnifying glass.

Now is also the time to install your summer floor mats, top off the pisser fluid and clean your
engine.

There ya go!
