Hey, thank you for making this video!!! Mine had the exact same problem and you showed how to soder the circuit board so well I was able to do myself too. Toyota charged me $100 just to look at my sunroof, then said it was my motor, then said it was going to cost 1400 to replace the motor w/service 🤯 crazy. Greatful man I really enjoy my little whip and I just paid it off! Thanks again!! 👍🏾💯

GREAT video! I have a 2012 tC TRD & love it (also w/ 80K miles). Question:Have you ever tapped into the map light or sunroof switch power to power up a dash cam? Thanks man

The problem is in those clicks bottom inside. I had the same problem. You have to add like an robber spacers because the open close plastic switch is plastic and with the time it get worn out. I had that problem before and I fixed.b

Great info on the lights and sunroof here. On a side note, the aftermaket airfilter is a really good mod on TC's since the oem air intake is positioned a lil low in the driverside fender and runs the risk of hydrolocking when driving in wet conditions. The relocated airfilter/intake helps prevent catastrophe.

Hey, so I did exactly what you did in this video and was able to confirm continuity between the contacts on the board, however it still isn't working. I noticed it works until it gets hot outside. Then when I click the open button, it makes a click sound but doesn't open.

What I have discovered is that depending on the weather/time of day the sunroof has no issue opening. Almost every evening/night the sunroof has no problem opening at all. During the day (especially on a hot day when I need it most) it refuses to open. I tried what you did in this video 3 separate times but didn’t seem to work. I’m guessing the motor overheats in the sun and doesn’t want to open until it cools down

Hey brotha! You're video is very informative and very useful for a longterm solution done properly. However I just discovered a quick solution. If there's just contact not being met put a piece of tape or something on inside of the dome light casing after removing the circuit board. For us non professionals with no saudering tool, tape gets the job done!

You could always replace the board. I didn't price one out but another commenter said they replaced it from dealer. I'd recommend trying to solder it! The solder points are huge, and easy to get to. You can pick up a cheap, decent soldering iron about anywhere. Watch a few tutorials and go to town. If you ruin the board, we'll it's gotta be replaced anyhow. (probably should purchase it first, just to be safe)

I haven't had an issue since I resoldered the connections with mine. It's possible the new part you installed is also bad, or that your issue is in another area. I would recommend (if you're comfortable) re soldering the old board if you still have it and swap it out to see if it solves your issue before going any further.
