More likely the switch or a fuse or even a relay.

What you want to open the sunroof never do that it will leak or the headlining will bugger up
best leave sleeping dogs alone.

The switches in the centre console often give trouble

They can be cleaned but not easily, You have to buy the whole assembly not just one switch. Time to get the DVM out and check if the switch is operating.

Was it working previously?

The reason I asked is because the sunroof on my '95 RRC started opening on its own, so I unplugged the motor. Is yours plugged in?
yes, sunroof not set, would need the sunroof working to set it. But since it says sunroof not set, then that already means that the sunroof IS enabled in the BeCM, so no need to worry on that score. If you have (access to) a Nanocom you can try to open and close the s/r remotely - which will give you an idea of whether or not the wiring/ motor are working or not, and if it works remotely then you are probably looking at the functioning of the switch

Once again I ask has it been disengaged from manual function, if not it won’t operate. The reason I suggest this is that it is what happened with mine when I first got it, the previous owner had said that the sunroof didn't work. It was absolutely a ok though after re-engaging the drive. I must say that I tend not to use it often, although it is fully functioning (I rebuilt it a couple of years ago) it is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
Thanks to you all. Just checked it was plugged in and it was! I did though clean the contacts and hey presto the motor is now whirring ......but not operating. Presume I must take it out and have a look at the teeth/cog/drive whatever is up there. Know what you mean about chocolate teapot but I do like to know things are working!
Will report back.
Thanks
Simon

You have to take it out of manual to re-engage the motor drive.
