Synchronization Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2005 Saturn Ion 3, 2005 Saturn Ion 2, and 2005 Saturn Ion 1. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: Verify that both the sunroof motor and the sunroof guide mechanisms are in the vent position before you begin the synchronization procedure.
  1. Plug the motor/actuator into the harness and provide power until the motor/actuator stops in the vent position. If the motor does not operate when powered, then the motor is already in the vent position.
  2. If the sunroof window is in the closed position, remove the sunroof window. Refer to Sunroof Window Replacement .
  3. Verify that the sunroof guide mechanisms are fully forward and in the vent position.
  4. Install the sunroof motor/actuator. Refer to Sunroof Motor/Actuator Replacement .
