sunroof question

[rede30]

My old crank sunroof did not click to inform me when my sunroof is closed. today i put in an electric sunroof, thinking this little problem would go away. It did not. The sunroof goes from open to popped without stopping, its a pain in the ass because i dont know when it is closed all the way.

that is wierd. it should stop... did you reuse your old track, or swap in an entirely new sunroof assembly?

[rede30]

i didnt change the AL stip, i didnt see a reason to, shit, is this where i went wrong? I figuered it was something else since it was doing this before. Also my sunroof stops trying to crank when its open but it never stops cranking when its popped. Where do you guys tap in for power?

[rede30]

bump, i have time to mess around today.

for whoever wants to know, i figured it out. The gear that stops the sunroof when it is open,popped and closed, was out of wack so it was stopping in weird places, I should have figured that out sooner and it was a pain to get it timed right. I never touched the rails so i dont see why these would need to be changed, i only say this because i read a few threads and people said they changed them.

the motor should stop all by itself from the gears that turn. there a little relay that automatically turns it off on each setting.

You have to get the roof in the correct position for the stopping point (fully closed); then pull the gear assembly and crank it to the correct position for the stop on the closed position; then put it back together.

so the gears that the actual lever connects to...ic ic....much thanks!

what i did is i popped the the sunroof and hooked up the motor to a battery i had sitting around, and ran the motor till it would click, and stop. I just played a guessing game and tried different clicks and then i would mount the motor and see if i got it. It took me a few tries but i figured it out with some thinking and logic. I really cant figure out why i didnt have to change the tracks and some people do.

yea the main gears spin a bigger white gear, you will see when you have the motor in your hand. You will also see why it clicks off and with this you can figure out how to get the timing.
