I decided to mess around with the sunroof today on the 96 disco.
It wasnt working so I started looking at the wiring.
Some previous owner cut the power line and used it to wire the CB, then spliced in a wire to the switch and ran it down to the fuse box. I reinstalled the correct wiring and will use the extra wire for the cb later.
The sunroof opened but sounded pretty rough so I greased the track and it was opening and closing fine for about 6 cycles, then it hung up on one side. I attempted to close it but then it started sounding like something was slipping and wouldnt close all of the way.
I removed the motor and above the motor is a couple of gears.
The motor attaches to a small metal gear which turns the top of a compound gear. The bottom of the compound gear is smaller and turns two linear gears that run to the sides of the window and actually open and close it.
The smaller gear on the compound gear is stripped so will no longer turn the linear gears.
Does anyone have one of these compound gears that they would sell me? or point me to a location where I can find one.
I can always go to the junkyard but discos are few and far between around here.
Thanks
