(G) stilo sunroof not working

I have a fiat stilo 1.6 active with a panoramic sunroof. I have had it 3 months and the roof is still not working. I have replaced the motor and put a new switch and nothing! Any suggestions please!!

Not sure if it's anything like my old Punto's roof (I know there are differences as yours is multi-panes). Anyway, the Punto had a slot to manually turn it if the motor has jammed or anything. Mine broke by the carwash drier pushing out a small pin stopping the mechanism from going back more than 2cm. I found pusing back in the pin solved it.

Hi, thanks for your reply. The sunroof does not open at all, not even with the emergency 'key' located in the switch box. It has got everyone baffled!

I don't understand why anyone would change the switch & motor if it’s not even possible to open it manually

I seem to remember (I could be wrong) when mine went a bit odd that there is an overload sensor that stops your kids chopping their heads off in the sunroof. Maybe it's this that's causing the problem. Surely you need to check if volts are getting to the motor/switch before changing them ? The whole roof was changed in my 3-door Stilo under warranty after a fault. I think the list price of the sunroof alone was about £1200.

Anti-trap is inbuilt in motor.

Motor and switch were changed by garage i bought it from, i wouldn't have paid that kind of money without being sure. Also an electrician has looked at it. In the hand book it says about the anti trapping device and tells you to press some buttons which doesn't work. When i press the circular switch in the middle it clicks! Does thast mean anything?

Anti trap is in motor.

You are talking about the initialization procedure,hold (push) button in until a cycle is carried out & 2 clicks heard,then press again.

yes, thats the one. Unless i did it wrong, it didn't work.

This is quite a long thread which might help you

Have read all that and tried the button thing but it just clicks! How do you lubricate it when it won't open?
