Roof Opening Panel Anti-Pinch Switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The roof opening panel anti-pinch switch is a 2 wire switch directly wired to the primary roof opening panel motor. The switch runs along the complete path of the sealing area of the roof opening panel glass. If an object is between the roof and the glass as the roof is closed the switch contacts touch providing a ground signal to the primary motor. The primary motor immediately reverses direction, opening the roof opening panel. If there is any issue with the pinch switch that causes bounce back and remains for more than 30 seconds the motor will ignore the anti-pinch switch, and after a key cycle will operate the glass by pressing and holding the control switch (manual mode) to open or close.
