Sunroof E36
 

:devil Sometimes works , sometimes only after 5 mins , sometimes not at all, any answers.

Loose connections, old switch maybe :dunno

Do you know where the motor access panel is?

If not, it right above your head, back from the maplight assembly. Pull that off and see if there is a loose connection. That sounds like what the problem may be.

My friend is having a similar prob except the sunroof won't even budge. It is stuck in the middle and he can't move it with the manual hand crank. Could this issue be resolved similar to this one? I belive his model is a 1992 318i.

sorry for the post hijacking didn't mean to change topic keep us informed if you find or don't find some loose connections

Sounds like it's your comfort relay, just changed mine. You can resolder it but a new one is only $18.00.

When the sunroof is the problem it's usally on the solder joint just to the right of the one their talking about. I resoldered
it and it started working but sometimes it would take a couple of minutes after cranking the car. Just get a new one and you will
be fine.
