D1 sunroof motor - should it reverse running free?
My D1 came with the front sunroof motor laying in the back and the back of the sunroof up. I removed the motor from the gear part and temporarily bolted the gear part back up to close the sunroof manually because I couldn't rotate the gear with an Allen key when the worm drive motor was in place.
I then cleaned up and reinstalled the motor to the gear box and plugged it in loose and it runs but will turn one direction only. With 12V applied to the red and brown wires from a separate battery It will turn both directions, depending on the polarity, but when I reconnect it in the Disco to test it, it only turns one way and only when the open switch is pressed with no response to the close switch.
Is the little (magnetic?) switch on the motor gear with the yellow and black wires supposed to reverse the polarity, or is the sun roof switch or the sun roof ECU supposed to reverse it? If it is an overhead switch malfunction, what does that little black thing on the gear do? Tell it when it has turned far enough? Inquiring minds and all that.

I am unsure since mine work so far lol
But have you tried switching the 2 sunroof switches to see if 1 is bad?
In case you didn't figure it out that button between the switches is the child lock
