Hi guys, I've been dealing with a water ingress problem with my LR3 like many others here, and I want to try clearing the sunroof drain tubes. Only problem is that my sunroof is completely unresponsive and even trying the recalibration about 20 times it simply won't react. I've successfully recalibrated it in the past when it got stuck due to ice... but now there is just ... nothing. No indication of a response to the switch at all.

I pulled off the panel where the switch and lights are and made sure the wiring harness was seated properly - disconnected, reconnected, etc. Checked the fuse behind the glove box (fine). Don't know what to do now.

Help me O wise ones.

 

did not know if you have seen this TSB

 

interesting... so if this is the issue is it something only the dealer can fix or can it be done by a bumbling idiot such as myself ?

 

A-pillar repair is easy, just get the kit from a dealership, and you can do it yourself if you want.

Where are you seeing the water? Dripping from the roof console, running down the windshield, puddle on the floor board(drivers or passengers, two separate issues)?

As to the sunroof, I have seen the LIN buss to it fail before, not very common, but there is a splice in the RH lower a-pillar that can go bad and cause this. Before arbitrarily clearing the tubes(which it is usually only clogged at the end, and accessible without the glass open) let's see if we can pinpoint the leak a little better.
