Sunroof intermittently unresponsive

Postby Stacks » Fri Mar 03, 2017 3:32 pm

Hi everyone, i've got an 05 liberty wagon and twice now in the last week my sunroof has stopped responding.

The first time, i got home from work having opened the sunroof on the way home and suddenly the sunroof wouldn't close/open beyond the tilt position. I assumed it was a fuse or computer issue so i turned everything off. Upon finding the sunroof fuse is on the same circuit as the windows, which are working, i figured i'd try the switch again to see if i could hear the motor at all, this was about five minutes later. Sunroof now closes no problem. Hmmmm, whatever, as long as its working now.

Two days later, driving to work, opened the roof no problems but once i got to work had the same issue. Worked all day, got in the car to come home ~9 hours later, sunroof closes no problems. I haven't opened it again since as there's obviously a problem.

Has anyone come across anything like this before? The only similar thing i've found related to the motor/mechanisms being covered in filth.

Is there an easy way to get at the motor to check it out?

Thanks.
