Motor Synchronization

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A new roof opening panel motor is already synchronized to the CLOSED roof opening panel glass position. If the roof opening panel motor has been operated while removed from the roof opening panel assembly, it will be necessary to carry out the following procedure to synchronize the roof opening panel motor to the CLOSED glass position.
  1. Position the roof opening panel glass to the CLOSED position.
  2. With the motor removed from the roof opening panel assembly, connect the roof opening panel motor and control switch electrical connectors.
  3. Turn the key to the ON position.
  4. Press and hold the control switch in the close direction until the motor comes to a complete stop and then release the control switch.
  5. Press and hold the control switch in the open direction until the motor comes to a complete stop and then release the control switch. During this step, the gear should move 8 to 12 revolutions before coming to a stop.
  6. Press and hold the control switch in the close direction until the motor comes to a complete stop and then release the control switch.
  7. Install the roof opening panel motor. For additional information, refer to Roof Opening Panel Motor .
