Sunroof Dead

[chris brindley]

I disconnected it to troubleshoot, looks like a new one is about 100 bucks online. I think it kind of dumb anyway i much prefer controlling the wipers myself

My sunroof died as well—in the open position. But I didn’t have a windshield replacement or anything like that. Turns out fuse 8DL had blown, which is unusual since nothing has been added to any circuit.

If someone else has the same problem, be sure to check not only the sunroof fuse in the right fuse box (30A), but also the 10A fuse for the switch in the left fuse box.

Hope this helps someone.

I just took my sunroof apart to find the gears in the motor all cracked up. I cannot find out where to buy the motor? 2001 Tahoe.

Any part number on the motor?

15163056 is the acdelco part number

i would assume most all in junkyard have same problem. more of gm's famous plastic gears.

wonder if perhaps somebody sells the gears?

Gruven?

gm#15163056 part has been discontinued $430.68

can find part used off of another vehicle, looks like years are from 00-05.

I may have to call back junkyard and see if there are anymore sunroofs.

I wouldn't assume just because a car is in the junkyard that the sunroof motor's are all bad, it is the most common failure but some people never even open the sunroof so plenty of good motors out there.
the motor should be the same for denali, escalade, or any with a sunroof
