'96 VW Golf, Unroof, Sunroof
Q:
I have a 96 VW Golf with a sunroof problem. When the sunroof "open"
button is pressed it usually moves a little and then the fuse burns. Manually
the sunroof opens easily using the included allen tool. And the sun roof
motor works when I press the allen tool in while pressing open. Would
you guess the problem is with the sunroof motor or is there something
I'm missing?. . . Miki
A:
You didnt say
anything about what happens when you close the sun roof. Will the fuse
fail when you push the close mode of the switch? If it doesnt then
I would be suspect of the motor relay. If the fuse fails in the close
mode, then wiring or the motor would be suspect. The system is reasonably
simple; a good tech should be able to provide the answer in no time at
all.
