"asc" is the company that made your sunroof. they do alot of custom jobs for manufacturers.

im guessing this is what it looks like?

excuse me? there is no disclaimer when you join this board that requires a person to have a modded car to post messages. what an arrogant thing to say.

oh, and by the way, a number admin on this board have stock cars, including ACCORDEX, myself, and marc THE DIRECTOR, whom you have to thank for even having this board

please, please...are we allowed to post here?

sunroof close button
sunroof open button
then asc button

no clue what it does...

Is that on the left or right side of the steering column in a left- or right-hand-drive car?

The open and close buttons are separate? :confused:

MuscleMayhem
11-06-2002, 09:32 PM
its not on either side... its on the center console (the thing between the seats...) its right between the shifter and the parking brake...
there is one button that closes the sunroof fully..
then one that opens it fully or if you hit it the other way... just opens it up in the back as a vent...
then the asc toggle button

it makes sense to be in that area seeing that asc is short for "American Sunroof Company" but its not just an advertisement for the company... or if it is... its a weird place to put it on a toggle button...

oh well... it seems i have a freak car...

The stock sunroof relay would be under the front passenger seat.

It's the power antenna button. I know that the LX and up models have it, I didn’t know if the DX had it or not. Latter I'll back that up with what page it's on in the owners manual. As for you others back off, there is not a damn thing wrong with having an unmoded car. All it shows by you doing that is that you are so insecure about your own cars that you have to dis someone else’s. The fact that it's a 3G your dising only makes it a great deal worse. I had thought the people on this site were at least above dising THEIR OWN cars, apparently I was wrong.

I'm just wondering why would you want this car if it was stock and your not fixing it up??? Personally I do not like the cars very much and the only reason that I am fixing the car up is because I don't want to buy a new car and have to buy all the shit for that ontop of buying the new car, and my car is in like perfect condition

I do not like stock 3 geez

asc is an aftermarket company. that sunroof is not factory

so these ASC sunroofs are power? you guys are lucky. mine was installed by the dealer and it is the kind that you either pop up or take the glass out totally by hand.

and what the hell? the reason cars were invented is as a means of transportation. and people actually still use them as that and don't feel the need to modify them. our cars are damn good the way they came out of the factory, so what is wrong with people leaving them like that? and how can you ask how somebody can have so many posts just because their car is stock? it's called helping people. there are over 1000 members on this board and many of the people with stock cars are the most knowledgable people on this board. they answer the questions of people who need help, or broke something when they tried to modify it, like all of you people.

I personally think a stock 3G looks far better than most sports cars out there now, expecially the Viper. Those Vipers are ugly as hell.

It could be the main power switch for the sunroof, flip it off and then try to move the sunroof. Or you could remove the console and see where the wires go and try and figure it out from there.

hmm you DX has a sunroof... does it have power windows? If so you don't have a DX, you have a mystery-gee.

Does the switch look like a custom job or factory?

MuscleMayhem
11-09-2002, 09:08 PM
no manual windows.... but i figured out what the button does!!!

asc Automatic Sunroof Close

when its turned off the sunroof stays open when you turn off the car... when turned on it closes automatically! so the mystery is solved!!!

i actually used to work with a girl who used to have a mystery 3gee. the rear end of her 88 got crushed in an accident and they were actually able to fuse the rearend of another wrecked car onto her's so it had the wrong badges on the back.

Nospeed
11-10-2002, 08:14 PM
Hmm...that is wierd. Yeah...mine has no badges in the back except the "x" for dx...i think all the others have fallen off...but mine looks stock too.
