What could be the reason for the non-responsive sunroof in an 08 Accord?
1 Answers
08 Accord sunroof not responding may be due to a blown fuse, electrical circuit malfunction, or mechanical failure. Additionally, sometimes insufficient lubrication on the sliding rails creates excessive resistance, triggering the sunroof's automatic anti-pinch feature, which manifests as only being able to open but not close. Extended information follows: 1. Sunroof: The primary maintenance for sunroofs involves lubricating the sliding rails. Lack of lubrication over time can lead to abnormal noises, impaired movement, incomplete sealing, or even jamming and misalignment, potentially burning out the motor. 4S dealerships typically use Hotolube or Kluber automotive sunroof grease for rail lubrication, which is also what Volkswagen group uses for their new vehicles. 2. Precautions: When maintaining sunroofs, never use Vaseline. Vaseline has a melting point of 40°C (104°F) and may melt onto interior trim during hot weather, while motor oil and butter may freeze in winter and flow in summer. Moreover, they can produce unhealthy odors.
