my sunroof doesn't work when i hit the button it does an anoying humming sound. can the be the actuator failing or going bad. and is it hard to replace the sunroof actuator? can anyone tell me where i can get a step by step on how to fix this problem? and what parts i could possibly need?

 

mine had the same problemso you need a new sunroof motor....
the problem with the sunroofs in the 1st gen neons is that they usually only last a couple years until they die.....the factory used a plastic gear inside the motor that tends toround the teeth off....there for the gear winds but doesnt open the sunroof....
get a new motor and you should be fine

the dealer charges about $250.00 for a new motor but there are a few on ebay for about $50.00
i picked one up out of a 2001 neon from the junk yard but i had to swap the wire harness plugs

 

ok good looking out spudsterieri appreciate your help. now is it hard to swap...

 

if you are just gonna chage the motor then take out your headliner......then there are 3 bolts and a wire clip that hold the motor to the sunroof frame...

 

cool thanx finding a motor is gonna be crazy. i went to 5 different junk yards and checked ebay and i cant find one. i found like 25 neons and none with sunroof.. if you know where i can get one cheap hit me up..

 

you might not need a motor, it could just be the aluminum cable guide block. you should pull the headliner back and have a good look to see just what is going on before you drop $250.00 on a motor that you might not need ( most places state "no return on electrical parts"). The motor has 3 10mm bolts holding it in.

 

ive got the motor still out of my old r/t that i spliced the plug on

 

spud you selling it.

 

With my 98 Highline...My sunroof wouldnt work until I took my glass panel off and saw that the cable became detached and went all the way to the rear of the car...Take your glass off and see if you cable is detached, hopefully thats the case cause then you simply put it back in place...Save you a lot of green $$$

 

maybe you should try to check the cable first....then if that isnt the problem, let me know and i can sell mine..
does the sunroof open at all????
