Default e320 sun/moon roof problem - 09-25-2009 , 06:29 PM






The power sun roof on my 98 e320 opens easily ( no binding} but will not
close .It is getting power thru the close switch.This happened several years
ago and some kind responder suggested that the timing was off and suggested
a proceedure that returned it to normal operation.Unfortunatly I lost this
info I hope someone can post it again

Was it like hold the switch open for a while so that the computer remembers
the position...

Have you tried to use your key fob to close all windows? If you have that
feature?

If the position sensor lost alignment (most probably from dust induced
electrical overload or sun overheating of the hall sensor) open the roof
completely pulling backwards the switch several times. You hear a
clacking noise reaching the most backward position.

Then press the button vertically up at the lift upwards position until
the roof is closed completely and then has reached the lift open position.

Hold the button pressed upwards some more seconds for the computer to
write the values into the memory.
