Roof Opening Panel - Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The roof opening panel is an electronically operated glass panel that can be opened, closed or tilted (vent position). All functions of the sunroof system are controlled by the sunroof switch located in the overhead console. The switch is serviced as an assembly with the overhead console. The close switch will close the glass from any glass open position including vent. One touch operation is accomplished by pressing the respective switch for less than 1 second and releasing. For manual operation, press and hold the switch, and release at the desired position. The roof opening panel shield is mechanical/manual operation only. For more information on the roof opening panel operation, Refer to: Roof Opening Panel - System Operation and Component Description .

The roof opening panel motor is hard wired to both the BCM (body control module) and the roof opening panel control switch. The only function of the BCM is to provide battery voltage and accessory delay voltage to the roof opening panel motor. The roof opening panel control switch is hard wired to the roof opening panel motor with a sunroof open circuit, sunroof close circuit and a tilt/vent switch circuit. When the roof opening panel control switches are pressed, a ground signal is sent to the roof opening panel motor to activate the respective switch request.
