About 2 months ago I had a member on here attempt the install of a dei module to control my moonroof from off my remote for my alarm. It didn't go so well and the moonroof stopped working properly. Turns out that 1 problem was that the ABS fuse popped. (why abs and moonroof share same fuse? beyond me)
Anyways after that fuse was replaced the moonroof would no longer open and close smoothly. meaning this. Instead of just hold the button to let it open or close, you would have to hold it and it would move a little, hold and it would move a little, etc. It would open just like that and close the same way, cept to close it was hesitant, and you would have to do it a few times to get it to actually move a little more closed, and then you would have to do the hold release method until it was completely shut.
A new module was ordered a long with a new switch and that didn't cure the problem. I have an 01 galant, the switch that was received was a grey one. We are not sure why a grey one or what that comes from, figured it was an 02-03 galant, but the ones that I have seen have a black switch also.
We determined the problem to be the limiter within the motor. I had Seth pick me up a motor from a junk yard, and it was installed yesterday. Now with this one, the moonroof opens fully as long as you hold the button, where you release the button is where it stops. Keep in mind before there was any problems you could just hold and release the button to open and close, just like a 1touch window. Presently to close the moonroof you have to use the hold and release method, but now the moonroof doens't hesitate to close. But also when you tilt the moonroof you used to press the button the center up to open it and it would do it in 1 motion, currently to tilt the moonroof you have to hold the switch all the way in the position as if you are closing the moonroof.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
