The sunroof in my car ever since I have had it has always had problems. Gotta help it to open, clicks alot, etc...i unplugged the motor today and ran a jumper box directly to the motor plug...it worked FLAWLESSLY, i didn't even have to help it at all, any of the times...Do I have a bad switch?

 

contacts on the swithc wear out.. when i flip my switch forward sometimes it doesnt click it always clicks backwards...so i can move the roof back but sometimes it requires a few pushes to get it to click forward....pull out hte switch unsolder the wires and clean the contacts

 

I had my switch/motor everything replaced and it still had problems opening, with the clicking noise.

I always had to push up on it to get the sunroof to open. Never really noticed if it only happened with the shade in or not.

 

Could be bad connections. Check where the wire is grounding. Could be some corrosion.

If you used a jump box and it worked flawlessly, obviously you got problems in the switch, and/or wiring.

 

What is a "jump box?"

 

ill check connections for sure...and jump box is a portable battery jumper that you can jumpstart cars with...
