sunroof doesnt work - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #64347 38 posts Started by grasby
well i dont think its burned out because it does make noise
its like its trying to mobve, but then something stops it
when i push the button it does move slightly,
but not even enough to really see it move
but you can hear the sound clearly
sounds like the gears in the motor are messed up. Thats how my was doin it would going up and down and kinda seem like it was moving back. but do a visual inspection of the guide track and see if it is not off.
Since we're on the topic sunroof here, might as well post my quick question here. Grasby, hope you don't mind me posting on your thread. wink.gif

My question is, does anybody know how NOT to make the sunroof work? biggrin.gif

I just want to temporary disable the sunroof switches since the kids have the habit of playing with it everytime they ride the Celica. I've looked for a separate fuse for the sunroof but couldn't find any. I'm guessing that it's tapped on the DOORS fuse, after some trial and error in removing fuses one at a time. I know I could just unplug the motor but I don't want to go thru the process of removing and putting the roofliner back on everytime. Too much hassle.

Hoping for your advise (quick fix) on this one. Thanks! thumbsup.gif

BTW - Does anybody have a wiring diagram/schematics of a 6GC?

Um...... You could always just undo the relay to the buttons. Remove the bolt, take off the switches assembly, unplug it and snap that switch assembly piece back and bolt it back up. BOOM!

Thanks! I was thinking of just pulling out a fuse or something (or maybe installing a hidden "kill switch") since I'll be turning it OFF and On a couple of times a week. What you suggested maybe just the easiest thing to do then. I'll do it later, and just leave it "inoperative" for a while. Thanks. wink.gif
I suppose it would be possible to install a "kill switch", but its one more thing for your kinds to mess around with, so that wouldnt be all that effective (unless you hide it somewhere). The easiest thing to do would be to disable the system altogether. As far as getting a wiring diagram, I know they have one on celica tech, its a pain in the butt to register...I think thats the only reason why i even joined that site in the first place (not enough 6gen stuff)
