Mk3 Electric Sunroof Problem

[stevetav]

Peeps,

I have a problem with the electric sunroof on my ghia x 130 TDCi

it was working fine, until recently.

It does still work, but only one of the buttons work, you have to press it constantly for it to tilt, then it will close again but not auto stop and then open fully.

i assume this may be a blown fuse

any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds more like the switch itself?

Just found this- its supposed to fix the problem. can ocur when you turn the ignition off while the sunroof is still closing aparently

Sunroof Reset

After disconnecting the battery or removing the power plug from the sunroof on the Mk3, you will need to reset the sunroof motor as follows:

1. Operate the sunroof switch to the up/close position until the sunroof is in the fully open/vent position.
2. Release the switch.
3. Operate the switch to the up/close position and hold for 30 seconds until there is a small movement (approximately 2 mm) and the sunroof motor stops.
4. Release the switch.
5. Operate the switch to the up/close position again within 0.5 seconds until the sunroof stops (one complete cycle).

I'm going to try it tonight- hopefully it will work.

It worked by the way

Sorted it.....thanks,

i had to use a slightly different way, but its solved..

Lift the rear of the sunroof. Hold the switch pressed for another 20 seconds until you see the sunroof move.
Release the switch. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the same switch ( lift ) again. The sunroof will close, open fully and then close again.
Do not release the switch until the switch until the sunroof reaches the closed position for the second time.

If the switch is not pressed continuously, the relearning function will be interrupted. Start the procedure once more from the beginning.
