S60 Sunroof problem

[Harry S]

Good day. I drive a 2011 Volvo S60 D3. Since I have had this car...+-5 years I have never had any issues with the sunroof. This morning, on my way to work, I used the tilt option to tilt it open. 30km further when I got to work my sunroof did not want to close. I did disconnect the battery for 20 mins, I locked and unlocked the car with the key option 3 times, I triggered the alarm and reset it. As far as I can tell it is only the sunroof that does not work. It is completely dead.
I eventually manually cranked it closed. I am too scared to see if it will work properly now as I don't want it to be stuck open.
Is there anyone that may know what this issue may be and what I can do to fix it?

Regards,
Harry

Just to bring everyone up to speed. I have tested the sunroof and found that it will tilt but not close. So it definatel has power. What would prevent the sunroof from following its normal settings ie; tilt close, slide close. I called the volvo dealer out here where I am (Johannesburg, South Africa) and all they can say is bring it in so we can reset it and see if it will work. Is there a way I can reset it myself? Instead of paying them to do it and it may not even work? I have also connected the obd2 and got no fault codes at all.

Have you tried a good whack with your hand? They can just get stuck sometimes.

Thanks for the ressponse. Where would I wack it? Where the motor is or the sunroof, on the inside or outside?

In the direction you want it to move, I assume you mean it wont slide forward, so the trailing edge of the moving panel, from front to back, - not hard just a thump with your fist.

DO NOT thump it downwards if what you mean is its elevated at the back and wont go down, that will break it.

I understand. Unfortunately my sunroof is only elevating at the back. It refuses to sut once it is elevated and it will not slide neither.

I once had a problem with mine and it was basically a dirty seal that was stopping it closing fully.

As short term measure I cleaned the seal on the sunroof and 5he surround. When I had some to hand I coated both sides with some silicone grease which has cured the problem.
