Default 1998 D1 LSE Rear Sunroof not working

I just bought this beast and I can't get the rear sunroof to work. I have fixed all windows and the front sunroof works fine. Where is the relay or fuse for the rear sunroof?

Thanks

Right where it shows in the RAVE, the factory set of tech and electrical manuals. Download below, they even have pictures of locations of relays, etc. I know this sounds un-friendly, but learning how to use the RAVE will save you a heap of problems during your enslavement to this pile of posh previously owned and positively pampered sheet metal.

And I'm sorry you have sunroofs, they are a bag of problems for many.

I had a problem like that when I bought my current disco.I could hear the relay click but the sunroof would not move.I removed the motor to replace it but decided to take it appart and clean it with contact cleaner, and thats all it took.Its been working good for 6 month now.(I had to remove the headliner anyways to repair drain tubes and paint the headliner itself , its nice when you can kill more than 1 bird with the same stone and believe me these rovers shure seem to produce a lot of birds.)

Remove the small plastic cover and then insert an allen wrench to try and dislodge the motor, then give it a try.

I had the same problem. When I removed my headline to 'paint', I removed the motor to the rear sunroof, it had been getting water in side. I cleaned it, works fine now.
