The gear may just be slipping. It is designed to do this a bit. If it is set up like mine there is an allen screw in the center of a large nut. Visible through the inspection opening in the roof. Place an allen wrench in the middle and hold...tighten the outer nut slightly...try the switch...repeat if still slipping. Do this little by little, you don't want to break the shaft.


O'k, I took a chance and stuck in a relay like the others. The seat heaters now work and the sunroof motor sounds like it is running, but the sunroof doesn't open. Anyone familiar with the inners of the sunroof gearbox? It will operate just fine with the hand crank, so my first suspicion is a bad gear in the gear box.
