Default Sunroof is not working checked everything

I have an 04 rx330 I cannot get the sunroof to open or close, I have done the reset listed here as well as checked the fuse for the sunroof. Has anyone had any similiar issues or know how to fix it please let me know. I am thinking that the motor itself is burned out.

When was the last time it worked? Have you checked the fuse? If the fuse is OK, I would reset the whole system by disconnecting the battery for a 5 minutes and check. However you will lose your pre-sets on your radio and seats. But you can set them up again easily.

I have done the reset listed here as well as checked the fuse for the sunroof. I also purchased the vehicle 2 weeks ago.

any update? Same thing. However, the moonroof was open in the pictures in the listing and the dealer said all they did was put in a new battery. But yeah, I've got nothing.

The motor is dead is what I gathered got a print out of the wires tested everything, if you need to you can manually shut the hatch by removing the dome light plastic its 4 screws.

Did you try the reset procedure? The one-touch open is not working so you will have to hold the open button while the sunroof retract.

Before going to the dealer, try re-calibrating the one-touch operation:

1. Turn ignition to "on".
2. Operate the moonroof (by holding down the correct button) to:
a. fully closed (if it's not already)
b. full tilt up
c. full tilt down
d. full slide open
e. full slide closed
3. The buttons should now support one-touch operation. Also, the jam protection function should now be enabled as well.

My moonroof doesn't work (inner damage). I'm going to replace it, but I can't find 2nd Gen RX at junkyards in my area. Does anybody know what Lexus/Toyota model I can use as a donor for moonroof ASSY? Thank you.
