Your sunroof on your Honda civic 98 ex opens but does not close how do you fix it?

Here are some steps you can take to fix a sunroof that opens but doesn't close on a 1998 Honda Civic EX:

1. Check the fuses:

- Open the fuse box, which is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side.

- Check the sunroof fuse for damage. If it is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

2. Inspect the sunroof tracks:

- Make sure the sunroof tracks are clean and free of debris.

- Look for any damage or obstructions that may prevent the sunroof from closing properly.

3. Check the sunroof motor:

- The sunroof motor is responsible for moving the sunroof open and closed.

- If the motor is not working properly, the sunroof will not close.

- Test the motor by trying to open and close the sunroof with the switch. If the motor does not run, it may need to be replaced.

4. Check the sunroof switch:

- The sunroof switch is used to control the sunroof motor.

- If the switch is not working properly, the sunroof will not close.

- Test the switch by trying to open and close the sunroof with the switch. If the switch does not work, it may need to be replaced.

5. Check the sunroof cables:

- The sunroof cables are responsible for moving the sunroof panel.

- If the cables are damaged or stretched, the sunroof will not close properly.

- Inspect the cables for any damage or fraying. If they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

6. Reset the sunroof:

- Sometimes, the sunroof can become misaligned and will not close properly.

- To reset the sunroof, disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it.

- This will reset the sunroof's control module and may fix the problem.

If you have tried all of these steps and the sunroof still does not close, it may be necessary to take your vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
