That’s what I’ve always enjoyed about your channel, the amount of helpful behind the scenes info you give. I like the straight forward, no bs, this is the way you need to do it. I don’t own an explorer, but my brother does, so now I know what to tell him to look for if the sunroof quits working. As far as the haters, unfortunately, they are always gonna be there. When you put yourself out there, some people deal with their own inadequacy by trying to run you down. I ignore them for the most part, but sometimes it’s fun to mess with them. They usually get their feelers hurt pretty quick and go away. I understand your frustration, but there are plenty of us who appreciate the effort.

You rock Dude! 66 yr old woman totally lost in the car repair world. Appreciate you more than you know!

Thanks Rich - I always enjoy your commentary and insight. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

Appreciate the video and noting the part number. I'm gonna take a swing at doing this one myself.

Also make sure you clean out the sunroof drains, what usually happens is the drains get clogged and then water takes out the motor. Happens all the time on explorers.

Thank you for identifying which motor was in question. When I did my test I maybe pressed the incorrect button, did all fuse, wiring, and checks as I should to identify a motor that was not working at all. Welp, I removed the incorrect motor and put it all back together due to late night. I was scratching my butt and head all night until watching your excellent informational! I am so embarrassed to share just to verify the good motor is still working. Tomorrow I'm gonna do it again because I had so much fun learning the first time. lol Thank you Thank you thank you

Thanks! Your tutorial in the sunroof motor was GREAT!! Did the job myself and all's good. I really appreciate your efforts to make these videos!

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to tackle my sunroof based on your video instruction. Sunroof hasn't been working and I'm getting water into the cabin every time it rains.

Thank you! Just had mine leak and this was the most useful video to help me replace my motor. Saved me over 1k. Dealer wanted $1220 total to replace this. Got a motor for $180 including shipping and tax.

Thanks for a very helpful video. The troubleshooting method used. 1. Check the fuse(s) 2. Inspect connectors . 3. Probe for voltage in connector harness. 4. The motor is the likely culprit. Yes sir, helpful video and thank you 😁

Thank you so very much for your time and attention. This video is very helpful. And it might sound a little backwards and so I invite you to consider this: take the negative comments as a compliment and evidence that you are doing the right thing. It’s a sign you are helping a lot of people. There will be tests!!!

Great video brother! Never changed a top motor yet in my 26 years of wrenching! I see it not that bad to do too! Thanks for sharing!

You teach me how to work on my own cars !!!! Your amazing thanks for the knowledge and ignore the trolls !!!

This tutorial saved me several hundred dollars. Thanks a lot!!!!

Great video! Thank you the actual Ford part number, and for going through the whole teardown. Idk what is wrong with people giving someone crap for putting out info to help them, there are so many ungrateful people in the world, gross.

My sunroof on my 2005 town car hasn't been open since I bought the car, wish the fix for it was as easy as this! 👊 nice work Rich.

Bro, you're doing the lords work. Keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks brother, you have helped me out tremendously. I appreciate every single one of your videos. Keep doing what you are doing. You are loved more than you know.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Can't wait to try to order a new motor for my sunroof!! Got the motor out and a small blip in the circuitboard is fried! So awesome! 😄

Great video. I just changed out a motor e-z p-z with this help. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for pointing out the two different motors and which one does what. In my case just the front shade is not working.

Thank you very much for your video. It was very helpful and in detail. I have a 2015 ford explorer and thanks for the parts number too. We just replace ours today because of your video and you help us identify the problem. it works great. Thanks

Thank you so much for this video. You just saved me a ton of money and time. Subscribed!

I like watching just to see new and dif work on cars/trucks love your channel Rich. Don't let em get you down homie negative people suck and just need something to hate on.you can do everything right and they'll always find a way .f em.anywho keep ya head up.

I appreciate the video. My explorer decided to no cooperate anymore when I try to use the moonroof and the sunshade only covers works to cover the giant immobile glass. About to jump into it and see what I can find. Fingers crossed that it’s simply a fuse but if not, I now have the know key to change the motor thanks to you and your video.

Left the sunroof open overnight in a driving rainstorm last weekend after I had a few too many and turned the ride into a submarine! Gonna tackle this next weekend. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks going to do it this way I’ve seen some videos where they take down about half the liner . Subscribed!!!

Thanks for the explanation and directions. Got a motor on the way for my vehicle.. Don't mind the haters..

All your videos have been great value.Keep up the great work..

Thank you! Your video has really helpful! I did not want to break the head liner.

Thank You. Made it easy to pull the motor.

I love watching your videos! So much good information! Thank you for spending the time to make videos like this!

Thank you for this video it’s probably saved thousands for people. Very nice straight forward explanation!

Hello Rich, first time tuning in. Excellent video and information. I learned a great deal and think that you are "RIGHT-ON" regarding the folks that don't appreciate anything! God Bless you bro and i will stay tuned. Take care. Wagdi Mabrouk.

Dude. Excellent job. Don't pay attention to the lazy or the haters.

Your videos are great! Thank you for taking the time to make these informative videos.

You're awesome Rich!

Thanks buddy for sharing. I'm learning lots. Good work.

Thanks so much mine is bad lol. I appreciate your videos! Helps a lot

Seriously thank you for this video!!! This HELPS SOOOOO SO SO SO MUCH. It’s SO MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!! God bless you.

It is sad to hear you are getting frustrated with the troll/negativity on youtube. Rich, there will always be haters out there. I am a Certified Master Tech (ASE not Ford). I haven't turned wrenches full time in years. That said I learn a ton from your videos. There is always something to learn. Wiring was never my strong suit and I learn so much from your videos. A very wise person once told me that humility is the path to knowledge. If you aren't humble you aren't learning. Sadly there are so many narcissists in todays society humility is severely lacking. Keep it up and let the haters hate sir. You're a good dude. AND BTW - Gibsons Steak Seasoning is ROCKIN'

Thanks for the video! Mine just on its own opened and then died. Now it’s stuck open.

You done a good job, Pal. Thank you.

Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated it!

rich, the video is great, straight to the point with all the insiders tips, what more could a viewer ask for.one honest question, do those have any drainage issues that would submerge a motor or just constant moisture causing the eventual corrosion?

Great video Rich thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for your help and time you put on this video. I really appreciate it.

I completely agree with you about the comments. I truly appreciate the insight. It may give me enough info to give it a try or to say this is beyond my capacity. My wife’s Escape is a 2014 and the motor is a different than in the video so I need to do some digging to see if the motor was just upgraded. Why anyone would bitch is beyond my comprehension! Thanks!

Awesome content as always. Be well and thanks for posting

Very nice explanation and information, blessings

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Good bless you.

Thanks for the info it was very helpful. God bless.

Thank you. I’m about to do this now

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for sharing this information. It’s very helpful and I didn’t have to go to the dealership to fix it, I did it myself. Thanks again.❤

Keep doing your thing. Your video helped. God bless

Hey man I appreciate you no matter how this goes

This is awesome, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

Thank you for the video, it's a big help. I just wonder if there's a need to reset the system of the explorer after replacing the motor.

Hey bro thanks man you saved me a lot time on my explorer

Keep up the GOOD work ‼️👍

Helpful video, thanks!

Thanks! It was very useful

Thanks for the info and video man!!

I do have a complaint actually. I've replaced my sunroof motor in a 13 Explorer XLT and attempted the relearn procedure over and over to no avail.

Nice job brotha. Helped out alot. Thanks.

Good video.... great info.

Thanks, you fixed it!

Appreciate you sir.

A good video! Thank you!

The perfect reason not to have a sunroof. It's not if it will fail but when!

Thanks!

Thank you I hope that what I need because I bought new switches and batteries was not the problem

Thankyou for a very informative video sir. You have a new subscriber keep up the good work.

Great video and very helpful. 😊

There are a lot of us that get great content from your videos, sadly the complaining snowflakes always seem louder than any of the other followers. We love your videos and the others are like children that need a bottle and a "time out"....keep your head up as you are very much appreciated. PS it is 100 degrees here in Oklahoma also....dang it is hot.

You're awesome and you're videos are always highly informative. Don't pay attention to the pimple faced brats hiding in their parents basements that can't even hold a job flipping burgers. You Rock. 😇

Thanks it was really nice

I appreciate the video man

Thanks for the info mine is still working if it stops now I know what I'm in for 😃

Awesome vid - subscribed!

Thanks for the info boss, hey mine stopped working the other day the back shade for moon roof will roll down an up but my front is completely dead, if I change the front motor will it fix my issue?

There will be trolls my brother. Don’t let them get to you. Like we say at work, “complaining is like water on a duck’s back, shake it off, and go on with your day.”

Thanks for the video, as you like sharing your knowledge with others. Know that it's appreciated. Maybe I missed you saying it, but in my experience with these the corrosion you find in the sunroof glass motors seems to come from restricted sunroof drains. They typically cause an excess of water in the troughs which in turn leads to water getting into the motor. In our shop we've seen techs replace the motor, as you did, get it working again and then after some time the same concern repeats. Basically, the cause of the water entry is being missed on the initial diagnosis. Hope this helps and keep up the good work. God bless

Thanks Rich, how much does a dealership charge to fix something like this?

I changed out both motors and the switch to just make sure it was all new and my first subroof will open and close but my shade won’t open or close now and also I have to unplug that plug and plug it back in above the plastic for it to work any suggestions on what I can do?

This is a great video!! I have clicking coming from both sides when I tried to close mine. I shut everything off and it worked to close it, have not opened since. I think the motors are shot but not sure. How long does it take to replace the motors or do you have any other suggestions?

So what was the problem with why the sunroof wasn't working

Thanks so much!!! where are you located???I am 65 years old woman...the Ford dealer is charging me 2.000.dollars for fixing my 2015 explorer that is leaking and bottoms are not working :( some car shops don't know the sunroof system ...or don't consider this issue as important...I assume. Thanks for your video I will try.

Thanks for the guidance. Ignore the haters. God is good

Great video... F the haters...saved me alot of time

If you siliconed the electronic board would that help keep moisture out from the affected areas?

Liked your video bro, don't forget, haters gonna hate, just do you dawg.

Changing my moms tomorrow should be fun

Rich don’t let the trolls get to you. They have never left their parents basement

glad it wasn't a blown fuse, if it was, their is a deeper problem. mine stopped working. after water came out of my light. guessing my drains and plugged and some corrosion.

Thanks man. I did the swap and my gf subroon opens again. Thanks

Kewl Boss Thanks for the Help your my Hero

Great video thanks

Rich, I’ve got a question for ya. My stepfather has a ‘11 F-150 I think it’s a 5 liter. Anyway he’s got an A/C issue. Driver’s side isn’t cold but pass. side is cold. Everything else works blend door etc.. I will not see the truck to be able to check it out for a week or so. So I haven’t seen the truck yet to even look at it. I just wanted to pick your brain 1st. I’m a 3rd generation mechanic however I’m not a master tech nor claim to know everything and I always love learning from REAL techs who actually get their hands dirty. I understand your busy if you have a minute I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again.
