hey would anyone happen to ever come across this problem.

Basically the moonroof opens sometimes, and not always.... weaksuace!
its hella ghetto. sometimes if i push the moonroof up it will open but thats only 60% of the time.

heres what i've tried, ive greased up the rails like a motha...and i even swapped out the motor.. the switch works, cuz it turns the motor forward or backward. and the fuse isnt blown..

ANY IDEAS???

 

I'm not a wizard on how moon/sunroofs work (mine doesn't even work) but I would assume since you replaced the motor, that you are gonna have to look at the thing more closely. You might have to pull out the headliner to get a nice look at the rails and moving parts etc..

I know you tested the switch but try a different one.. sometimes they are intermittent..

 

mine did that too. believe me. REPLACE the switch. even if it works sometimes the switch might be going bad. Go buy a new one. Its the easiest thing to do next to find the problem. If its not the switch at least the picture on the switch will be new!!

i imed y0u. but yah if im interested in the switch, if u dont mind mailing it. =p

 

put some lube on the rails.. and then open and close it like 4 or 5 times, then put some more lube.. i hear **** lube works best.. haha j/k i see that u tried the lube.. but pull that bitch out and clean the rails, and lube it up.. i bet that bitch will skeet open like cockroaches when the lights come on

 

i would put it on the switch. my buddys was the same way...then i pulled my switch out placed it in his car and it worked perfect.

there shouldn't be any wiring to do for the switch... you just plug and play.

 

yayuh! now all i need is a switch =p

 

It could be the switch... Inside it , is weak.

 

Dude don't get a new switch unless they are cheap. u can definately take them apart and clean them...
once u get it apart u will c black stuff on the contacts... wipe it off.

I hope thats helpfull

 

i had the same problem, i cleaned the switch and it still didnt work. so i put a new one in the other day, and it works great now. hope this helps
