Memory Reset Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the battery is disconnected or the sunroof motor harness connector is disconnected, the slide switch will become inoperable and the sunroof motor memory must be reset. To reset the sunroof motor memory from any sunroof position (full open, partially open, closed, partially vented, and vented), repeatedly push the sunroof tilt switch to the forward (CLOSE) position until the sunroof is fully closed. Finally, push and hold the tilt switch forward (CLOSE) for more than 2 seconds to re-establish the motor preset position. The sunroof should now operate normally.
