98 EB Expedition Moonroof

I have a 98 EB Expedition 4x4 with the factory Moonroof. The roof is stuck in the closed position (thankfully!) The rear of the roof will still tilt, but when i try to open the roof, it only moves about a half inch then stops. It will, however, move back to the fully closed position. I suspect a bad relay but I dont know where to look or how to test the relay when I find it (other than replacing it )

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
Jim

Since it tries to move, I would think the relay is good. At nighttime, can you see the lights dimming when you try to make it move to the rear after it stops? I think that would be a clue that it may be mechanically stuck. If the electrcial system doesn't seem to show any strain when trying to move it further, it must be a limit switch or something out of wack. I have never had a moonroof out though.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't notice any drain on the system. It just stops. Please tell me more about the limit switch that you mentioned. This problem is on my wife's expediton, so I'll not have any peace (sp?) until I get it fixed.

Thanks
Jim

I assumed there may be a limit switch. Sorry, I have never worked on one of those before. Maybe someone else has?
