trying to get an idea of where to start looking on the sunroof problem. Just got my son a 2000 Gt and the sunroof doesnt open. I checked the tiny fuse on the side of the dash and its good. When you push the button, it makes a slight and faint click at the switch, but nothing else. It will do it each time you press the button. Is there another fuse somewhere, or should i start troubleshooting it somewhere else? Any ideas?

 

sunroof problems are pretty common, on mine i push the button and the roof my move ever so slightly, then i can push it up to loosen it and then i pull the button back again and it will work, so in my case it just gets stuck alittle too much and the motor cant pull it back without some help. i know some people have replaced the sunroof motor which has fixed it but i do not know the price or anything on it. you could also clean out the tracks and lubricate them to see if that may help any

 

SOunds like the motor... but I believe if the radio fuse is bad it can cause this too... or the cigg lighter fuse...

 

well the radio still works just fine so i guess its not that fuse....but the cig lighter has been taken out for some reason, so i will look at that fuse today. Thanks for the suggestion

 

If you have read your service manual and tried the button withing the trunk compartment then i do not have any advice but if you have not this could be the problem it its switched to manual.

 

i dont have a service manual so i cant do what you are referring to. So there is a way to switch the sunroof to manual? And there is something in the hatch area that does this? I have no clue as to what or where you are talking about, so if you could please tell me i will look and see if this fixes my problem. Thanks
