Default sun roof is confused

2001 nissan path fndr - sun roof works if you push button over and over to
close or open, it will go about twoinches then I push button again and it
goes another two inches, it used to be push button once and sun roof would
open all the way and close all the way with out all this hurkey jerky stuff.
any suggestions of what could be wrong?

If it were me, the first place I would look would be in the switch
itself. Is it dirty, worn, broken?

It has lost its memory of where the glass is. Mine did this when I replaced
the battery. If you work it all the way open and then all the way closed (2
inches at a time...), it should re-learn and start working correctly again.

in my parents caterra, there was a procedure in the owners manual to
reset/relearn the positions. Don't know if this applies to Nissan at all...

Default sun roof is confused

My '01 PF had this problem. Dealer replaced the motor assembly on
warantee. It worked for a month and started doing it again. That was
a couple of years ago, and it's been doing it ever since. I just went out to
try the "learning" trick belowm and it worked. BEFORE I did the learning trick.
Wierd.

However, it's clear that this is a common problem. I got an e-mail a couple
of days ago from someone who read my original post on the problem.

I fixed mine! It was the memory, just like the previous poster said,
but closing it and opening it all day long won't fix it. Here's what
I did: I closed it all the way then pulled the power window fuse for
a few seconds then put it back in. Now it works perfectly.

I had the same problem in my 2003 Pathfinder. My owners manual had the
answer:

With roof fully closed, press and hold the "tilt down" button for more
than one second.

This fixed mine.
