Unhappy Sunroof Gremlins

My sunroof started to behave oddly. I think it's the one-touch operation that's gone. When I touch the back rocker switch to open, nothing happens. If I press it, nothing happens either. If I however press the center of rocker switch the roof then opens to tilt position. From here I can press the back of rocker switch (again need to hold) and the sunroof goes back to close position and then proceeds to open fully. To close the roof, again I need to hold rather than touch the forward rocker switch and then the sunroof closes.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Have you disconnected the battery lately? Do your other windows work OK?

I was asking if you had the battery disconnected...not as a fix, in any case are you sure you re-trained it correctly?

No, didn't have batt disconnected but tried it as a fix. Tried training the roof too but it would not go into training cycle. So, out of ideas. Dealer time, I bet it will be control module? Big bucks I am guessing...

Slightly OT - but, I've always wondered if my sunroof was working correctly.

It's one touch operation to open / close it (sliding), and one touch operation to open it (lift). But, to close it I have to hold the front of the button down (i.e. the slide close button).

I've always thought it was odd that it wasn't one touch close from the lift position?

bump sweet, thanks.

I thought my sunroof was on the fritz but seems after swapping my battery I had to do this. Been running a roof rack so haven't been using it so didn't but two and two together.

Did you try resetting the sunroof?? Hold the switch down Open all the way. Hold for three seconds. Close all the way while holding the switch down and hold for three seconds. release then try your one touch.
