Default Sunroof Doesn't Open
I hear a brief click, but no activation.

I'm guessing a relay?

Where do you hear a click? Two or three places a click could come from..

Hope not. Before it stopped working entirely I could toggle the window switch and then the sunroof would activate, so assume they are on a connected circuit.

That is confirmation of what I believe - the right and left windows share the same controller - you cannot lower both windows at the same time - so, it's logical that the same controller is shared by the sunroof.

I would poll other 91+ owners and see if the sunroof and a window can be operated at the same time.

Starting with ‘90.

If the window controller is original it’s way past it’s ‘good until’ date.

I replaced 3 or 4 of those last year due to 125+ mA parasitic current draw.
