  1. Nope, the micro sw will not lock the motor in a single way.

    There are 2 white switched wires that runs to the motor(12V+up & 12V+down).

    Check those 2 wires from your driver's side switch.

    Then Check/meter both up+down+ hot wires at the motor.

    This old thread might be able to shed some light,,,

    Electric window motors have no two windings, ground and power are switched by the control box or switch, depending the system.

    Thanks for the info. if the door microswitch is faulty would it lock the motor in a single one way postion when the motor is out of the regulator, I am suspecting a microswitch problem, but why won't the windows switch work either, I'm going to see if if is possible to turn the regulator manually, to drop the window a bit and reattached the motor and see what happens.

    Is there a way to reverse the direction of the motor?

  2. by using a volt meter or tester, best to check the constant 12V hot + switched 12v while turning the ignition.

    Maybe you have some problems on the ignition switch, I had the same issue with the AC...

    Hmmm, if it is the ignition switch it would be a hell'ova coincidence. Everything worked perfectly before I put the car in stands.

    I think im gonna try and re-charge the battery and see what happens...

  3. hot side.

    I believe our headlights are controlled from the headlight switch via another relay (i.e the switch switches on the headlamp relay, which then supplies the current to the headlamp), rather than directly switched via the switch (headlamp switch actually carrying the current going to the headlamp, is this correct?

    Does anyone know if it's a ground side control or hot side control? i.e, is the headlamp relay switched on by grounding at the headlamp switch or by supplying 12V at the headlamp switch?

  4. If U can hear the motor turing , at least your relay+motor is OK.

    The sunroof motor drives two cables that move the roof forwards and backwards in a track.

    Most likely its the broken cable or the gear drive teeth wearing out.

    Check for a broken cable.

    Sunroof panel can be removed, slide it backwords first.

    Yes U can move it manually in emergency mode.

    Each part can be ordered, even a gear drive.

    Good luck.

    2000 C4..

    The sunroof is stuck slightly open. Press the switch...I can hear the motor turning but the roof will not move. Are there internal gears in the motor itself that could go bad? Is this a common problem? DIY possible? How?

    Thanks
