Sunroof shade motor 3rd row

serpentine · 10-22-2023, 04:09 PM

Can anyone help me identify the fuse that might control the 3rd row sunroof shade motor? It’s stuck open, nothing happens when attempting to close. I get the glass sunroof initialization warning at startup. That process doesn’t do anything. There is no sound like a stuck motor or anything. Figured I’d check a fuse before engaging the dealer.
Thanks

Did you ever figure out your problem?

Mine is also stuck open, but I get no error messages at startup. I did try the sunroof reset process - that didn't do anything. Anyone have luck closing it manually or by replacing a fuse? I'm ok with keeping it closed forever after this.

Brute force worked for me. Or perhaps maybe it was just a coincidence. After a software update I attempted to reinitialize and I heard the motor engage. It seems to have corrected itself and I thought perhaps I missed something up with BimmerCode, and the software update corrected. A short while later, it happened again and I was able to use group force to pull it closed no more than an eighth of an inch but just enough to have the roller move a bit. i’m speculating here but I think that helped unstuck it. Yes, that’s a technical term.

And all seriousness, I think from time to time it opens just a tad too far. Getting a good grip on it and putting my back into it I think was able to move it ever so slightly enough that the motor reengaged.

Do you hear a click like the motors attending to move when you hit the button to close?
