Sunroof will not close

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included a symptom related chart for your vehicle's moon roof. If you could go through it and determine which pinpoint test is closest to your vehicle's problem and let us know, we can get that pinpoint test out to you. I also included pinpoint test C along because it fits as best as I can gather your vehicle's issue. Please get back to us if another pinpoint test is better or how things turn out.

Thanks,
Alex

Pinpoint test C looks accurate. Do you send me something that I can click the links within the document? I cannot test the slider until the vent is closed. I feel it is the switch as there is no dimming or sound when I click the vent or slide switch. Only the shade switch works.

Hello again,

Unfortunately I can't send a link like that with this material, but if you tell me what link you want to go to, I will be happy to get the information and send it along to you.

Thanks,
Alex

Well I got another switch and that was not the problem. I am not very confident on testing ohm's on the console cable. Cannot find a video on how to do this. I would think this would be the next step before replacing the motor?

with the new switch, the shade screen still functions, however the vent will still not close. Cannot test the sunroof opening until that closes. :(

An ohms test may not help you these are smart motors which have a small controller attached. Here is a guide to help and the wiring diagrams for the sun roof below so you can see how it works. Check for power at fuse #8.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

BARTHELJ, what was the end result that fixed your issue? I am having the same issue with the same model Explorer, I was also going to replace the switch controls but curious of your outcome.

I don't know if they will respond. can I ask if you have checked the fuses? Here is a guide and the fuse locations below:
