When i push the button to open sun roof nothing happens. No noise at all from the motor even trying to open. Bought the car used snd there is no owners manual so I can't look up the fuse box to see if that is the problem. Is there a diagram some where I can find it?
Dear cz50001: there are only a few things that you, a weekend warrior can do to diagnose and/or fix the problem on your car.
Unfortunately the newer cars get, the more complex they get.
Unfortunately, your car is one which falls in the more complex category. Your car is designed with a "BODY CONTROL MODULE". This little gem gets input from nearly every electrical component in the car including the sunroof. In terms of what you can do to check it out: The fuse box inside the car has roughly 24 fuses positioned vertically 12x12. The fuse located at the lower left side of the box is a 10A "red in color" is for the sunroof. Remove it and look through it to see if it has been burned through the center. If it has, replace it and try the sun roof. If the fuse blows again, you have a short and it would be best left to a professional.
There is another set of circumstances which can occur that will render the sunroof inoperable. If the battery is disconnected or if the sunroof motor had been disconnected, the sunroof will stop operating. To reset the sunroof memory, with the key in the on position, push and hold the sunroof tilt switch in the forward (up) position until the sunroof is fully vented (tilted up) position. It should at that point operate normally. Should those two suggestions not solve your problem, it requires either a dealership with a specialized tool called CONSULT-11 to communicate with the BCM. There are some specialty shops such as mine equipped to deal with your car as well. However, most can not address this type of problem without this diagnostic tool. Good luck.
I have the same problem in my 2005 Altima. The battery was rplaced and I noticed that the open/close switch will not operate at all if the sunroof is in the cosed position. If I press the tilt swtch whic moves the sunroof about 1/4 of the way open, then he open switch will work to open it. I went through the procedure of tilting the sunroof and it wouldn't tilt unless I held both the open and tilt switch together, but it still does not fix the problem of closing and opening the sunroof. The switches are working very wierd!!!
I had the same problem with my 2005 Altima. After disconnecting the battery cable, my sunroof would not work properly. The move forward/backward switch did not do anything, and the tilt switch wouldn't tilt the sunroof, but rather would open it about 2 inches. I found the following answer on yahoo answers, submitted by user John Paul. It worked for me:
Using the tilt button the roof will move about 2". Fully close using the tilt switch and hold tilt switch 5 seconds to reset the roof. That roof resetting procedure may also need to be done when you get your new battery.
