Default Sunroof only partially working

Hey guys so the up button works down works weirdly if I continue pressing it it opens again, the open and close close on the right doesn’t work at all, what would cause that doesn’t seem like a fuse does it anyone experience this ?

That happened on my wife's Jaguar years ago. It went off the track. A great auto body place I took the car to wouldn't even touch it.

And why are you opening it now, aren't you in sub-zero temperatures?

Actually, maybe the severe cold has something to do with it. See what happens when the weather gets warmer, you know in July!

I had a similar issue with my the sliding open/close button so I just replaced the overhead console with a similar unit from eBay and it resolved my issues.

I opened mine 3 times, once to see if it works, once to clean it and lube it, and once because I hit the button in error when the car was still new to me and I missed my garage button. I wish these cars didn't have the sunroof......however in the context of what could be wrong test the switch and check the track and see if they are in spec/on track.

Got similar issue and there is way to get the surnroof to re-calibrate itself. It was a sequence of press on the switch - info should be available on here somewhere.

So my friend used a 2 way obd thing and used the app to open and close now it works fine. It’s strange but I’ve seen it happen twice now, once with the turn signals, using a orb device that can activate specific things will then allow them to work again, for the turn signals there was no codes just changed the stalk.

I believe, loss of power (disconnected battery) can cause loss of calibration on some of LS460 systems.
