Slowly fixing issues in my el cheapo 94gt that I recently traded for. The sunroof will tilt up and down, though the buttons seem to not work correctly. Then it won't move further and will just buzz a bunch. How do I diagnose the issue? It's new to me so I don't know the history but the car came with an old switch so the owner attempted that. New switch is from the junkyard so it could still be faulty. What else should I look at? Edit 5/5/18: you guys were right about the gear being stripped. Tried my hand at 3D printing a replacement in ABS! Not perfect but not bad!     https://youtu.be/8SCvAOQGkhA This post has been edited by evilkeo: May 6, 2018 - 7:17 AM -------------------- Celica Timeline:

most likely a gear inside the motor sheared it's teeth and thus doesn't retract the sunroof anymore.
take out the motor and have a look. there's a writeup on here about cleaning your sunroof drain tubes, should give you the same directions. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

Awesome, thanks! Might try 3d printing a replacement gear then lol -------------------- Celica Timeline:
