Escape Sunroof and Shade Initialization

How to Program/Initialize/Reset the sunroof motor and sunshade motor on a Ford Escape. This model is a 2013, but this procedure should work for any of the Escapes of this body style.

[@eltennis]

This man needs way more views and likes. This video was solely responsible for getting my moonroof and sunroof to properly close!

[@superultradan]

I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem, thank you so much for making this video!

[@halloween7242]

Thanks for the information. I am headed to my mother's house to repair her stuck sunroof ... my fingers are crossed that this procedure will work!

[@SealofPerfection]

Stuck open, I assume? Decent chance this will help. Also might the the motor has failed.

[@tommylpottsjr1708]

I just want to thank you so much for this video! I just bought my 2013 Ford Escape today and my sunroof didn’t want to open nor close all of the way. I almost didn’t buy it bc of this issue, but it fell under their warranty so I purchased it. I was going to take it to one of their repair facilities tomorrow. But thanks to your video, it is fixed now. God bless you!

[@SealofPerfection]

Glad it helped!

Cool trick! Thank you so much!! You saved me from wasting a day at the dealership 😁❤️

[@debracarter9935]

OH! MY! GOODNESS! THANK YOU!!!!! May the good LORD kiss you for sharing this!!!! This tricked worked on my 2017 Escape Titanium model! I was so upset when my sunroof didn't open for me after work. I thought sadly, "well...I'll bring it to the dealership to make sure it's closed correctly so it won't leak over the winter; we don't have money for an expensive, new motor repair now." 😟😔 I decided to investigate on KZbin, thinking maybe it was a simply needing a new fuse or something, (my [newly replaced] battery is only 3 months old,) but I was pretty convinced it needed a new motor. There's not much out there for 2017 year models - but then I found your video and thought I may as well give it a shot. . . You, my dear sir, have earned yourself a subscriber!

[@SealofPerfection]

Great news! Glad it helped

[@jmlah]

thank a lot for this video, I took my wife's escape to the dealer because the sunshade was not doing the second step for opening, and they wanted to charge us 150 dolares to dissemble the shade and if something was broke or the motor had to be replace it would have been another 300 dollars. with your video just $4.5 of the coke I had. LOL much appreciated

[@ashleyconley]

You sir, are a BRILLIANT man! Thank you!! I have a 2020 that I was driving around just now with my son and we couldn’t get it to shut. Shoved his little head up there to see if anything was preventing it from closing. Nope. KZbin I came. You are awesome!

[@juliomelchiore245]

Thanks for posting your video. We were able to get the sun shade visor closed on my wife's 2013 escape. We have the keyless entry and I attempted several times to calibrate the sun roof but it never worked. I'm not sure if it is because the car is keyless but I could turn on off like you said. None-the-less the sun is no longer beat down on my wife's head as surely appreciate it!

[@Garishna]

Thanks so much for this video! You saved me money and hours! I have a 2014 Escape Titanium with keyless entry and sunroof. A passenger tried to force the sunshade closed by hand before I stopped him. After that, the sun shade would close half way, and return to the open position while the close button was pushed. I thought maybe a gear was stripped, but it was programming. Anyway, I followed your procedure: turn on ignition, hold sunroof close button, turn ignition on, punch sunroof close button, hold sunroof close button. Heard some loud clicks as it closed all the way, which apparently realigned the mechanism. It opens and closes properly now! Also, thanks to Ford for providing this easy but secret fix.

[@jimmymundth6636]

I have a 2013 ford escape 2.0 sel I’m not sure when it stopped working but I think it was when I changed the battery because we all know about the escapes power draw killing battery’s rite? But it hasn’t worked for a couple months I just tried this method and wasn’t able to get it to work I’ve checked every fuse in the car idk my next step would be to pull the control module out and make sure the connections are all good I’m just lost because the back lights are luminated but nothing works?

[@SealofPerfection]

Control module is inside the motor. There isn't anything else in the circuit. Might try disconnecting the motor for awhile and then try the initialization again.

This helps for the cover. But it still only opens but not close anyone else having this problem

[@KetiKhardziani]

My shade is stucked halfway: it is not closing fully, this reset is helping to close it fully one time but for the second time it gets stucked again. each and every time I have to do the reset in order to close the shade. how to fix that? any idea what could be the issue?

[@SealofPerfection]

The shade will not close all the way if it thinks the glass is not fully closed. Even if it's just a half a millimeter short of being closed, the shade will only go halfway shut. It is possible your motor is losing the programming for some reason

[@christinethompson5382]

Heeelp!? My shade would only open halfway, the glass won’t move at all, going on 2 years of this, too afraid of cost to have it looked at. I just tried resetting the shade, the trick works...it opens all the way and closes all the way. But after that I can open it all the way just fine but closing won’t go past half, like before. It’s like the programming doesn’t stick? The glass still does nothing...rain got in there once and a few months after that the sunroof was like it is now. Shade only closes halfway and glass does nothing.

[@SealofPerfection]

The glass is probably not totally shut. And if the shade motor doesn't "think" it's totally closed, it won't go more then halfway. Likely your sunroof motor is dead from water intrusion caused by the sunroof drains being stopped up. If this is the case, you'll need a new sunroof motor, then it'll all program.

[@christinethompson5382]

Pacfanweb aw darn lol. Thank you for the reply!

[@wshaffer79]

This is exactly my issue too.

[@soarinfan]

hi do you have a reset procedure for a 2017 escape ?....many thanks

[@SealofPerfection]

I don't have a video but here is the procedure:Front Sliding Glass Panel 1. NOTE: The driver front door must be open during the entire procedure. Open the driver front door. 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 3. NOTE: Complete the following within 5 seconds: A. Cycle the ignition to the OFF position and then back to the ON position. B. Press the sliding glass panel close switch for less than one second and release. C. NOTE: When the sliding glass panel close switch is pressed and held, there should be an audible click from the switch within 3 seconds. The audible click indicates that the motor has accepted the request to initialize. If there is no audible click, the procedure must be repeated from step 1. Press and hold the sliding glass panel close switch until the glass moves to the fully open and the back to the fully closed position (this could take up to 20 seconds to start). 4. Release the switch and verify successful initialization by carrying out one-touch open, one-touch close and one-touch vent operations.

Yeah, the little arm that pulls the shade is broken. It's a pretty big deal to replace. You have to buy new cables and disassemble the sunroof track to fix it, unfortunately.

[@coles.5228]

Bought a 2014 explorer where the sunroof doesn't work at all and the shade will only close to halfway. No matter if I hold the button, the shade will not close all the way to the front. Any ideas?

[@SealofPerfection]

Yes, the sunroof motor is bad and it is probably bad because of a water leak that shorted it out. The shade won't close because it thinks the sunroof is still open. That's the way they're supposed to work. They will only close halfway if the glass isn't fully shut

[@berniethejet]

Why does Ford do these silly cheat codes? Anyway, thanks so much, this was very helpful!

Good question. You should see my video on how to do it on a Silverado. It's dead simple. Funny thing is the same manufacturer makes the sunroof for everybody, it's not like each individual car companies making their own.

Do you have any videos of changing the sun roof motor in a ford escape?

[@SealofPerfection]

I don't. However, you take both A pillars loose. Remove visors and their "clip" point. At that point you can bend the headliner down and get to the motor. The sunroof motor is the one on the driver's side, the passenger side motor is for the shade. 3 Torx #20 screws hold it in. Remove them, it will either fall off or you can pull it off. Put the new motor in place, reinstall the screws, plug it in and reinstall everything. (btw, the motors come with 3 new screws for some reason, so no worries if you lose one) Then do the initialization and it should work. Also, then you should clear you sunroof drains since them being stopped up is probably the reason the motor is bad to start with...it gets water in it.

[@ironman98]

@@SealofPerfection where and what exactly are the sunroof drains? Do other vehicles have them?

[@dksob1981]

Ok, I have a problem now.... I replaced the battery in a 2014 Escape. Sunroof was not operating afterwards. Proceeded with the initialization process, the sunroof went into VENT mode and will not do anything else. I have tried many times, even continuing to hold the button for 2+ minutes and still nothing. Even tried disconnecting the battery and trying the procedure all over again and nothing

[@SealofPerfection]

Any noise from the sunroof when you did that? It's possible that the roof is not operating because the motor has water intrusion from the front drains being clogged. They just fail randomly when it's water-related.

[@rogercook9537]

My sunroof motor is bad. Will the shade work with a sunroof motor that is bad

[@rogercook9537]

I was able to shut the sunroof by swapping the roof motor with the working shade motor. Then I swapped them back and the shade closed, but now the shade will not open

I tried this on both the shade and sunroof. It doesn't do anything for the sunroof. Shade went through the entire reset. Then i could one touch it open half way and full open. Then one touch half closed and now it won't fully close. I'll need to reset it yet again.

[@SealofPerfection]

So does the sunroof not work at all? Or just not one-touch? Sometimes you have to do it several times to get it to "take" the programming. If it still doesn't, the motor is probably bad.

Thanks for the reply, What about the rest of the procedure like cycling the key on and off? Is it the same as this Escape, on, off, on? You said to push the tilt switch, do I push it towards the open side or the close side? What about the drivers door? Does it have to be open or closed for the MKS? What about the shade? Should it be open or closed while doing this procedure? Thanks for the help!

With a keyless model, how do you turn on car without starting car?

[@SealofPerfection]

I start them. They don't turn on and off quickly enough for me if you are just turning it on and not starting the engine, so I just start them.

[@bethmerdian]

So here’s my story: I bought a 2016 titanium Escape in 2018, coming off a 2 year lease w 21k miles. Carmax dealer told me it still had another year on the warranty so I didn’t purchase extended warranty. Realized after I bought it that the sunroof didn’t work well, sometimes worked sometimes didn’t. I took it to a dealer and they said warranty had JUST expired because it starts at manufacturers date. Without even looking at sunroof, said they would need to replace motor for $800, & if switch too then $1200 plus tax. But they couldn’t do anything at that moment, would need to order parts. Then sunroof worked fine for 9 months. Didn’t drive it much this summer, surprised battery didn’t go dead. But now sunroof doesn’t work again. Stuck in the vent position. Took it back to the dealer, said it would cost $150 to manually close the sunroof, but their next available appointment to manually close sunroof is in 4 weeks.

[@bethmerdian]

And the reset isn’t working. Actually tried the reset when sunroof was closed & that’s what put it in the vent position.

[@bethmerdian]

The next available appointment in 4 weeks is just to manually close the sunroof. If it takes 4 weeks to get an appointment, ask me if I’ll ever buy a ford again? Ironically, I live in Louisville where escapes are made, and escapes are super popular here.

Be sure you reset the shade, too. I did one today, replaced a sunroof motor, and then reset it, and it wouldn't work...it worked during the reset, but not after. I then reset the shade, and both worked fine.
