sunroof binding?

[stockgp]

i don't know exactly how to explain it, but the sunroof in my 94 doesn't work.

 

if i use the switch, i can hear the motor turn for less than a second and quit. if i take the motor out, it turns freely both directions. so, i can take the motor out of my 90 and use it. however, if the motor isn't the problem it does me no good.

 

has anyone else experienced the sunroof binding up? any suggestions on fixing it?

You should probably take the whole sunroof assembly apart and clean up and re-lube the tracks and moving parts. I would try that before replacing the motor.

If its been a long time sence its been opened it could have vapor lock

ya just try to take it apart and clean it up that should fix the problem
