sunroof
Hi,
I'm having issues with my FRONT sunroof, it won't open. It DID work a year ago before parked, but now I can't get it to do anything. When I push the button, I do hear it attempt to try and work but NOTHING at all. The rear seems to function with out any issues...any suggestions?

Just dealt with this same problem today on my '96.
First thing to do is check your fuses.
My front sunroof motor died recently. I would recommend just to save yourself the money, pulling your rear sunroof motor and plugging it in to your front sunroof. Cycle it and make sure it works. If it works, your motor is bad. If it doesn't there may be an issue with your sunroof ECU being cracked, which should be an easy fix.
Report back.
Edit: If your sunroof hasn't moved in a while, the bearing in the motor may be seized slightly. If you pull the motor down and simply cycle it without load on it, it may free it up. I had two spare motors laying around today when i replaced my front motor. One of them hadn't been cycled in quite a long time and struggled the first couple of times that I tried it. If you do remove the motor, keep it plugged in and give it a little bit of help before you write it off as bad, it may just be slightly siezed due to lack of use.
