Sunroof fuse?

Postby celica_xr9145 » Sat Jan 16, 2010 4:47 pm

Have searched but couldn't find anything.

Yesterday i went to start the car and heard a tick then suddenly had no electrics.

The problem was the battery terminal was f*cked so now thats fixed, the car start fine.

Since then the sunroof has stopped working. When using the switch, it doesn't make any sort of noises or clicks.

My first thought was a blown fuse but can't find the fuse for the sunroof.

Anyone know where it is?

I've went through the fuses in the engine bay and the drivers side kick panel but all fuses there are fine.

If it's not the fuse, anyone have any other ideas?

It's a 91 Trueno AE101 by the way.

Thanks

Anyone?

Checked the fuses again today but no good. I have a feeling that the sunroof may have been added, it looks a bit different to ones on trade me and the sunroof and the wiring doesn't look factory fitted but can't be sure :?

Am going to check the switch with a multi meter tomorrow. Can't even hear the relay clicking, just dead.

It's very annoying having to use an allen key to open a sunroof :lol:

Any ideas on why it has suddenly stopped working.

Trace the wiring from the sunroof, then crank out the multimeter and go from there.

Unlikely to have been an aftermarket one- it takes a fair bit of effort and a helluva lot of $$$ to put a sunroof in as you'll be cutting into strength panels to do so.

Could be a moonroof? Same thing as a sunroof, just a different size? Could take the chassis no to a Toyota dealership and have them confirm it either way- sunroof/ moonroof/ none at all (therefor aftermarket, just in case! :P )

Edit: Oh, its a levin, not a celica like the avatar... still unlikely to be aftermarket...
