    I have checked the fuses they are fine and I see no jams/ debris, I have not got it looked at yet due to the horror stories and cost everyone has associated with these, would like autozone be able to check for the code? I'm not sure what you mean by fsm but if that's the manual yes I have read it there isn't much on troubleshooting in it just how to operate it.

    Ive noticed the bug deflector does not open though, could that cause the issue?

    these funky options, are weak, in most cars, very fragile and complex and hard to diagnose. the FSM is just that the factory service manual. not Haynes, not chitions but the real book , or on CD.

    id be happy i can close it and not get a bath. owning cars with these options, has serious , costs ,related. lots of extra things to break, means more do just that.

    first find out , is it low power to the motor. or a jam. and auto features, you will need to dig deep in that option and how it works.

    anywhere besides a Jeep dealer to get a diagnosis? would a odb scanner find error codes if its something with the motor or a jam?

  • _-__-___-_
    _-__-___-_ Nov 01, 2014

    any shop with ASE on the wall and on th arm patch all are highly trained professionals, i dont think so, but why not scan it, its free, same shop would be happy to scan it, and as a matter of SOP, would do so , just after checking fuses, SOP standard operating Procedure. I dont think there is sky rider, computer but i never looked in the FSM. why not read the real FSM ? ever heard of ALLDATA.COM, log in and see if that is covered. this is an option, and some options on some cars, have horrid documentation. but we look first. (im talking real docs, not autozoned, rags

    Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify that all other power accessories are in proper operating condition. If not, a common electrical problem may exist. Check the condition of the circuit protection (20 amp circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)). Inspect all wiring connector pins for proper engagement and continuity. Check for battery voltage at the power sunroof drive motor, the drive motor will not operate at less than 9 volts. Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by releasing the control switch before the sunroof was fully closed. The sunroof module has a water-management system. If however, the sunroof glass is in a partial closed position, high pressure water may be forced beyond the water management system boundaries and onto the headlining.

    Any diagnosis of the Full Open Retractable Roof (FORR) system should begin with a scan tool and proper Diagnostic Procedures. The scan tool can provide confirmation that the FORR Electronic Control Unit (ECU), (sometimes referred to as the Power Top Control Module) is functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus, and that the power to the FORR is being sent the proper hard wired output by the FORR switch. Check the condition of the circuit protection and inspect all wiring connector pins for proper engagement and continuity.

    Be certain the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is running. This will help to ensure that system voltage is maintained through completion of the procedure. If the retractable roof is in a position other than fully closed, depress the roof switch center button for less than one second and wait for the roof to close. With the roof fully closed, depress and hold the roof switch center button for more than 20 seconds and do not release it until all of the following roof cycles have completed: Front of roof will close, then stall Rear of roof will close, then stall Rear of roof will open Rear of roof will close Rear of roof will vent (open about five centimeters or two inches) Front of roof will open Front of roof will close Rear of roof closes from vent Once all roof movement has ceased, release the roof switch center button. The retractable roof initialization procedure is now complete.

SOURCE: Sun roof

This is a common issue, it is caused by a relay block that is mounted close to the sunroof motor, after time the main 2 relays on the block come loose and can be fixed by taking out and re-soldering them, i fixed mine and two other friends jeep sunroofs this way, works like a charm

SOURCE: power locks on 04 jeep liberty not working

Most of the times on jeeps and all chrysler auto's they have a body control modual this is what controls your door locks , windows ect. It should be in the owners manual for all fuse location and identification. A shop with a scanner can check the door lock system for you. body control moduals go bad alot on all chyslers and if you buy one you need to buy it from the dealership they will program it . So check the owners manual for a fuse and then have the body control mod checked

How do i replace my sky slider roof on my 2008 jeep liberty it doesnt open or close i can pull it to the rear and i have to tape it down

This, Unfortunately, is a very common fault on the Jeep Liberty. There is also problems getting replacement parts for them. This seems like a silly question but have you checked the fuses for the roof? Try this website for the fuse box diagram. Check fuses J22 and M6 in the engine bay fuse box.

https://fuse-box.info/jeep/jeep-liberty-kk-2008-2012-fuses-and-relays
If you remove the inside roof light in there is access to the two motors that power the roof. You can use a 6mm 'Allen' key, (Hex key), to slowly hand crank the motor if it isn't closed properly. There are separate motors for the front and rear sections.
There are specialist companies out there that do body repair work that might replace the whole thing with a fixed position glass roof or even a solid metal roof panel. These solutions will NOT be cheap.

2009 kia borego sunroof won't close

a jeep KIA? really?
if you post to KIA and not Jeep, answers are 10 faster and 100 times
more accurate. if at all.
all sun roofs.
1: check fuses
2: check voltage at roof motor. (active.) ( if no 12vdc hot wire the motor , does it close now? if no 12vdc the switch(relay) is bad.
3: remove trim and check the mechanism for jamming.
4: remove motor and try to move the drive , by hand, if you can it will close, if you can't, its jammed. if jammed find cause of jam.


for 100x better advice? read the FSM. (kia FSM on your car)
or login to ALLDATA.com com and read the sunroof chapter.

My rear hatch light indicates that the hatch is open which it is closed tight. Because of this my interior lights stay on and my remote start won't work. How can I fix this? My jeep is the 2009...

The switch on the latch is more then likely stuck. If you can see it spray it with some electrical cleaner and open and shut the hatch a few times.
