Learn the essential steps to diagnose and fix a malfunctioning 2018 Nissan Rogue panoramic moonroof. Expert tips to restore functionality easily and effectively.

 

1. Check the Manual

 

  • Refer to your 2018 Nissan Rogue’s owner’s manual. It often provides troubleshooting steps for basic issues and can help you understand how the sunroof operates and what might be going wrong.

 

2. Inspect the Fuse

 

  • Locate the fuse box, which is typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Check the manual for the exact location.
  • Find the fuse associated with the moonroof and inspect it for any signs of damage or a blown fuse.
  • Replace the fuse if necessary and test the moonroof again.

 

3. Check for Physical Obstructions

 

  • Inspect the tracks of the panoramic moonroof for any debris, dirt, or objects that might obstruct its movement.
  • Clean the tracks thoroughly to ensure smooth operation.

 

4. Reset the Moonroof

 

  • Turn the ignition to the "On" position, but do not start the engine.
  • Locate the moonroof control button and press and hold the slide switch while the moonroof is closed.
  • Continue holding the button for at least 20 seconds until the moonroof moves slightly to indicate it is resetting.

 

5. Lubricate the Tracks

 

  • Use a recommended lubricant (specified in your owner’s manual) to lubricate the moonroof tracks.
  • Apply the lubricant evenly to ensure a smooth operation.

 

6. Test the Moonroof

 

  • After performing the above steps, test the moonroof to see if it is functioning correctly.
  • Open and close the moonroof several times to ensure it operates smoothly.

 

7. Consult a Professional

 

  • If the moonroof still malfunctions after troubleshooting, it may be a more complex issue that needs professional attention.
  • Take your vehicle to a certified Nissan dealership or an experienced automotive repair shop for a more thorough inspection and repair.

 

8. Warranty Check

 

  • If your vehicle is under warranty, check to see if the panoramic moonroof issue is covered.
  • Contact your dealership to understand the terms and initiate a warranty claim if applicable.
