Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, was hoping for some help with an issue I'm having with my 2002 x-type. The sunroof switch will only operate the sunroof by pushing it forward. It will not respond at all to pushing it backward. In order to open the sunroof you need to hold the button forward which will cycle it through the tilt and open movements. The problem is that it won't stop automatically in any position so you have to guess when it's closed completely. I've used the search feature and found a couple of threads with instructions to reset everything but those haven't helped. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

 

Close the roof
Open (hold this button) the sunroof until it cycles all the way open, then shut again.

Your auto feature should work now

 

Thanks for the reply. So if I hold the open button long enough it will eventually cycle? Right now the close button is the only one that does anything. Thanks

 

Try holding the close button until the roof completely cycles. That should solve your problem.

 

LOL...Bo,

TO reset the sunroof:
With the roof in its closed position, at rest. Key in, ignition on, hold the button forward as if you are going to tilt open. Keep holding for 20 seconds, then release and immediatly push the button the same direction (forward to tilt open) and keep holding. The roof should flip up and down then slide back all the way then will slide forward all the way to its closed position again.
If it keeps losing its memory, you will need to replace the sliding roof control module.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll give it a try tonight andreport if it works. If not I guess I'll need to replace the module or take it to the dealer.

 

Just to be sure FactoryJaguarTech, does it matter if I hold the switch in the first position or do I need to push it all the wayto the auto tilt position? I'll try one if the other doesn't work, just curious if it mattered or not.

thanks

 

Hold it forward

 

LOL Tell him to hold somethin! It's kinda hard for me to describe. I know when I hold the button, whether it be forward or backward because my memory doesn't serve me correctly, it'll cycle open, propped, then shut.

After that, my auto feature works again.

 

Picture sitting in the car with the sunroof closed. You push button forward to tilt the sunroof. Press and hold it this way for 20 seconds. Then release and immediately push and hold again the same way. Keep holding as the sunroof first will tilt on first push, then second push it will close, tilt, close, slide open, slide closed. At this point it is programmed. Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time around.

 

Oh. Well I thought post was clear. My apologies.

 

A huge thank you to FactoryJaguarTech, it worked like a charm. It's great to have this working now. Next I need to get it to the dealer to program the global open and close from the remote. Thanks again.

 

THNX!!!! Been trying to figure out if the switch was broken. Been riding around like this for almost a 8 months!!! tried this and BAM!! like magic!! I love this place!

 

Thanks for your feedback , this is not a new topic but it was good to to hear it worked for you

 

does anyone know the part # for the headliner module that the sunroof switch is in (with the homelink buttons and map lights) or can the switch itself be replaced?

 

It may be an old thread but the information is gold! Thought I would have to change the switch but found the info here on my search and the reset worked great. Many thanks!!!

 

Just a word of "caution" for the X-Type sunroof. I had the same experience of my sunroof not working properly. My mechanic told me the memory module needed to be replaced. I kept re-setting the roof and then one day...the sunroof went flying back into the roof of the vehicle. I mean WAY BACK Luckily, when I turned off the engine and then started the engine the sunroof came back into place and stopping properly. I have never opened the roof since. And; "Yes" I do live in Ohio. Good luck.
