Sun Roof Crapped Out

OK, I'm sure someone knows the answer and solution to this one, based on the snow and ice we've had over the last fortnight.

Tried opening my sunroof the other morning.... had a wee bit of snow on it (yes, I know, daft thing to do unless I was wanting a cold and wet head).
a split second after trying to open it, it cut out. I've tried replacing the F20/20Amp fuse - no joy. Could I have blown the motor?

Cheers guys/girls.

Try this

It is possible to override the anti-trap
mechanism when movement is
restricted by ice or dirt, by pressing and
holding the front of the switch whilst the roof
is closing.

Sunroof calibration

Under some circumstances (i.e. if the battery is
disconnected), the sunroof position may need
to be recalibrated. The sunroof position is
recalibrated as follows:

1. With the battery connected, turn the starter
switch to position ll.

2. Press and hold the front of the switch for
20 seconds. The sunroof will start to
move.

Continue to hold the switch until the
sunroof completes one full open and
closing cycle. When the sunroof stops
moving, release the switch.

The sunroof can then be operated as normal.
Note: Calibration will not function if the battery
voltage is low

Wiggs, you are a genius!! Worked a treat. Of course, with the temperature outside a brisk -10 deg c, I had to take the beast for a spin in order to thaw out my already frozen sun roof. In the dead of night, there's so much scope for where you can take your wagon and get away with it Whistle.

Cheer again for that. Did you find that in the owners handbook?

Did the exact same thing the other night. I drove to the dealership after work and picked up a new fuse but no joy. Searched here and found my answer!

Thank you so much wiggs. Cheers for that! Very Happy
