2002 Neon sunroof problem

Does the sun roof motor run or not?

check fuses

CHECK SUN ROOF FUSE.IF GOOD CHECK FOR POWER AT SUN ROOF SWITCH.IF YES SUN ROOF MOTORS WIRES COULD BE LOOSE OR BROKEN OR SUNROOF MOTOR FAULTY.

you gotta take down the headliner and check if the sunroof cables are broken. then go to the dealer i cant remember if they sell the parts or the whole track assembly.

If the motor is stuck, you can probably hold the switch to the forward position, and smack the roof. This may allow the motor to start working. I don't think there is any way to do it manually.

It's typically the motors or the special drive tubes that it uses. If you here a clicking noise then the sunroof became to tight and ruined the motor gears. You can actually switch the two motors, one is for the shades and needs less power then the other motor. They are identical, switch them. Nex make sure they are very tight to the 3 mounting bolts, there is a rubber washer bushing that wears out and alloys the motor to flex too much, causing the gear mis-alignment and gear grinding. This works great I do it all the time.

The motor is stripped out. The sun roof might be binding on the sun roof track and the motor is not strong enough to move the roof. I would first replace the sun roof motor if available seperately.
You mihgt have to get the complete assembly because of part availability

If hear the clicking noise then motor is good and you need to change sun roof regulator as the cable make misaligned with regulator , you have to change
the regulator...

Good luck...

there is a manual way to close it. between the rearview mirror and the sunroof there is a plastic box remove the two screws holding this on and remove. then with a flat tip screwdriver depress the white plastic clutchpinin the center of the motor screw.(this should be towards the rear of the area).turn this white plastic pin to open or close your sun roof. i hope this helps.

You will need to access the wiring to the sun roof and check for shorted/damaged wiring that might be rubbing on sheet metal and causing a short circuit, if you find nothing then the sun roof motor may be the culprit.
