sunroof question please answer before it rains

[brian gorkowski]

i tried to open my sunroof today and the button would not respond. then it worked for a second and then it sounded like electrically it was about to short then everything dimmed in the car and now the windows don't work and the sunroof is stuck open.
is it the switch or the relay?
it is 95

Switches are notorious in the SHO's. Take off the whole assembly and crank the sunroof shut manually before you get rained on. To take off the map light assembly simply pop off the map light lenses.....you will see a scre above each bulb (one on each side), remove these two screws....then push BACK and UP to get the cover off. DO NOT PULL DOWN OR PUSH FORWARD! The back of the cover has "prongs" that clip into a metal piece attatched to the roof. If you pull down or push forward, you will break the prongs off of the cover and have to epoxy it back on. Not that big a deal, but a royal PITA. Good Luck.

thanks a lot it was the switch everything is all put together. why is ford so stupid by attaching the switch with plastic they know it wpould break eventually i guess that is why it is still a ford first sho second.
