Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I don't know if you can strip the switch enough to clean the contacts, but you probably haven't got much to lose by seeing if there is a hole you can spray some contact cleaner into.

Thanks Richard I have also (now) understand there is a controller via switch reset sequence (presumably the controller built into the sunroof motor).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My sunroof switch seems to have taken on a life of its own - one touch open/close has stopped working on the rocker switch and the central (tilt) button and holding the rocker switch only operates the tilt function up and down now - confused! I'm wondering, straight swap for a new switch or is there a way to clean up the contacts - or is there a smart relay unit somewhere that controls the various function? The (rattley) sunroof is due attention when it goes in for a service next week - just wondering if I should ask them to pre-order a switch? Cheers.

POST 2Original post

The roof system just comprises of the motor drive and switch - no relay. I don't know if you can strip the switch enough to clean the contacts, but you probably haven't got much to lose by seeing if there is a hole you can spray some contact cleaner into. A new switch is £26.50+VAT

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard I have also (now) understand there is a controller via switch reset sequence (presumably the controller built into the sunroof motor). Will let you know how I get on. Cheers.

POST 4Original post

Yes, that's right, the controller is all inside the motor and drive unit.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
