1990 Crx Si

When I slide it back it works, slide it forward no problem, but when I try shutting
it, the sunroof doesnt shut ! (stays in tilt position)
The sunroof used to work, but now it doesnt.
The switch is 2 months old !
It cant be a relay since the sunroof slides back and forth....

what can it be ??? <FONT SIZE="15">HELP</FONT>

relay? its behind the main fuse box. My roof would tilt but not slip unless u kept on pressing the switch. Swapped relays and now works perfect

 

My roof slides, but doesnt tilt or close shut.

relay controls both i believe

 

I tried reading this but doesnt tell me what the problem is.

I would look at the mechanical structures of the sunroof assembly.

See if one of the swing/slider arms got stuck off track or something.

 

if it slides forward every time without issue, you have a track/ mechanism problem.

 

Once again, it slides forward and backward, but doesnt close down !

dude read the helms, take your roof liner off and look in there. Did u even check hte relay?

 

If your pressing the back down (of your sunroof) well holding the switch does it go down?

 

Does the motor whine when it's stuck in that position, or does it lock and stop?

 

check the white plastic pieces that lift the sunroof. they break all the time. mine was doing the same thing. turns out that one broke and the other the screw fell out. i put the screw back in the one side and could get the other side to stay up it i punched the sunroof from the inside. the i couldn't get the broken side to go down so i would keep a steak knife in the drivers door pocket to shut the broken side.

second pic down is what im talking about.

other wise it might be the limit switch playing tricks on you

I hear it whining, just seems like its stuck.

 

Strange thought...maybe it's stuck on something.

Check the stoppers on the end of the sliders.

 

i have this problem. cause someone broke in threw my sun roof.


do this i have to do this every time

take your car keys. you see where the rails are. Stick your keys pushign down on it while lifting up on the sunroof slightly it should just shut then. you might have to do it on both sides.

 

looks like this is the problem Im having



See the off-gold color part at the bottom-right of the track and compare it to the same part at the top-right of the track and you will note that the top part is disconnected

The bottom part:



The top part:



And the missing screw

 

^haha those are my pics and that's my hand. Yes that's your problem

Also what thread was that out of? I don't remember where I posted it

This guy can confirm:

i had a similar problem, but turned out it was the stupid switch on the dashboard.
