My sunroof wont work but u hear the the motor runs

check sunroof fuse if okay.sunroof motor could be bad or switch bad.if you hear sunroof motor running sunroof could be binding.

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

see technician immediately before more damage is caused to motor, channel, gear and locks, which would be even more difficult to replacw due to scarcity of spares

Check the fuse in the fuse box. If that is good then you might want to look into getting a new sunroof motor. The gears in the motor are plastic so one of them may have some broken or missing teeth. If you can hear the motor run then replace the motor. Also, maybe the switch is bad. Check all of the connections and make sure that they are seated right.

try to get the sunroof manually at the end of the rail and try to force it on the rail

Sounds like sunroof is stuck, motor can't overcome load. Cheap test: car off, interior light turned on try to move sunroof, does light dim? If yes motor is trying to move but can't. If light does not dim then motor not getting power.

sounds like your sun roofs gear or track is stripped. Replace the motor for the side window had the same problem there really cheap.

You can try cleaning and lubricating the runners. The sunroof will open as soon as it is obstructed, eg. A childs arm in the way of closing. The problem here is that you can hear the motor running, wich indicates a broken cable, or a stripped plastic gear.

good evening to you and welcome to fixya

a couple of ideas for you to try, not sure maybe you have already tried, but yo might use some wd-40 and spray the sliding track and back into the motor area. you might also check the motor that runs the sunroof it could have to high of ohm resistence. not sure if you are hearing a whining noise when you try to operate the sunrood or not, is the noise consistent with the glass opening and once the glass stops moving then do you hear any noise from the motor or anything, or is it just quiet? let me know so i can try to help you out the best i can. thank you for using fixya.
