RE: Sunroof wont close- just keeps opening
I had the same issue on my 2002. The close button would just cycle through all the functions. Resetting the sunroof module did it for me. Here are the instructions compliments of FJT.
I hope this helps,
Bill
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.

RE: Sunroof wont close- just keeps opening
The same thing happened to me, as it started raining. Go figure.
I hit the close button, and just before it hit the point where it would stop and go back, i grabbed the endge and held it from going back. It stopped for a second, and the closed. It's worked fine ever since.

My 2003 X pulled this stunt just as I was heading into the automatic touchless carwash. I did the same thing by grabing it, it stopped and then closed. This happened last fall and I haven't messed with it all winter. Will take a look at it when it gets warmer to see if it's still messed up or if I need to try a reset.

Thanks a lot you guys
Thanks for writing a record of your successes down here, I had a similar problem with my 2003 s-type and now it works fine.
Don't have much to contribute to these forums because my problems are usually answered here, but I did successfully install new fluorescents for my backlight on my navigation ($15 for the lights or a $2500 repair from jaguar!!) so maybe I will write a how to for that...Anyways, thanks for the great forum!!

When spring arrived I did the re-set on it and everything went perfect the first time. There hasn't been a problem since.

Same problem with my 1999 VDP and reset did not work....now what?
do I need to try the hard reset for my 1999 VDP? I tried the module reset and it did not work after several tries. I do hear a very subtle clicking sound while holding down the forward button for 20 seconds...
