a little sunroof help on an '86 951...
When i bought my car, it had been sitting in a field for almost a year. Naturally, it had/has a few electrical gremlins, one of which is the sunroof not working. "No problem", i figured. "It's probably just a fuse."
So i got home, replaced the fuse, and voila! the roof went up. Except i could hear the fuse pop in the fuse box. So i replaced the newly blown fuse, and went to put the sunroof down... and again, the roof went down, but the fuse blew. So im assuming there's a short in the system somewhere or something? I did a cursory search and couldn't find anything like this. I was hoping someone could maybe give me a good place to start, or shed some light on the situation. I'm not too spectacular with electronics, but have basic voltmeter skills.
Thanks, Kurt

Probably the limit switches. They're in the hatch, left side behind the carpet, along with the motor. You can also manually turn the motor to lower the sunroof again.
