hi guys, I've got a really weird sunroof problem on a 98 Patrol---Every time I turn the ignition on the sunroof opens, and won't close again!!!!!! I've tried disconnecting the switch in the roof pod, still does the same. I thought I'd try taking the fuse out, but I don't know which one it is 'cos the panel on the fuse box that says which is which is missing. I would take the connection off of the motor but I think the head lining's got to come off?? Can't take it to a garage either 'cos it's really wet here  So can anyone HELP??? Any ideas?? Please????? If anyone's got that fuse panel they could scan and send me I'd be really gratefull-----or even a panel they don't want. Pretty desperate as I've got a 600 odd mile round trip I've got to do at the weekend. Cheers. ------------- I am who I am, I think what I think, I say what I say |

Hi Flash, It's got an alarm, but that was disconnected before I got it. It's R Reg, and I've had it for about 3 years. Pulling the fuse is part of the problem----I don't know which one it is, 'cos the panel's missing and I can't find a diagram anywhere. I've managed to close it manually, but everytime I turn the ignition on---yep---it opens!!! So I'd be happy to just disconnect it for now. ------------- I am who I am, I think what I think, I say what I say |

looking into this further it wont be the window relay as this does the main windows too i would say its the relays in the motor unit its self btw if you pull the fuse you will loose the rest of the windows acording to the diagrams |

| you should be able to take out the interior light and surround you may just be able to get enuff room to unclip the wiring off the motor |

I managed to unclip the live feed without taking the headlining out----at least I can use it now 'non automatic convertable' .I'll sort the relay prob later. I'll keep you posted. A great big thanks for your help, Flash. ------------- I am who I am, I think what I think, I say what I say |
