What is the reason why the Chery sunroof cannot close after automatically opening?
2 Answers
Chery sunroof cannot close after automatically opening for the following reasons: 1. Lack of lubricant: Check the slide rail to see if there is a lack of lubricant. When the resistance is too high, the sunroof will activate the automatic anti-pinch function, manifested as the sunroof being unable to close. The main maintenance of the sunroof is the lubrication of the slide rail. If there is a lack of lubricant, there will be abnormal noises, poor movement, incomplete closure, or even jamming and displacement over time, which can burn out the motor. 2. Fuse damage: Check whether the fuse of the electric sunroof is blown. If the fuse is not blown, check whether the switch of the electric sunroof is damaged. Press this switch to see if it operates with electricity. If there is electricity, check whether the drive motor of the electric sunroof is working. At this time, you can listen with your ears to see if there is any sound of the motor working. Check in sequence whether the phenomenon of the sunroof being unable to close is caused by the fuse being blown.
Last time I helped a friend fix their car, I encountered a similar issue. It's really troublesome when the sunroof of a Chery car opens but won't close. Common causes include dust or debris stuck in the sunroof tracks. The accumulated dirt can make the anti-pinch system mistakenly detect an obstacle, causing it to automatically stop closing. Another factor could be poor contact or aging of the control switch buttons, especially in cars that have been used for several years, as the buttons are prone to malfunction. Overly sensitive or dirty anti-pinch sensors can also trigger system errors. On the motor side, excessive load leading to burnout or gear slippage can cause jamming. Although rare, short circuits or blown fuses in the wiring shouldn't be ruled out. It's recommended to first clean the tracks and lubricate them before trying to close it forcefully to avoid worsening the problem. The risk of water leakage into the car during rainy days is high, so it's important to address the issue promptly. If cleaning doesn't work, it's best to take it to a professional shop for inspection to ensure safety and avoid more expensive repairs.
