e34 windows and sunroof not working

[BluhBluh]

Just after buying my first e34 estate and the sunroof is stuck slightly open and the windows dont go up or down. Fuses are good. Any help appreciated!

Checked the fuses under the rear seat?

Yep checked there as well. Reading through few threads on google I'm guessing its the control module and the central locking doesn't work either.

Probably is that, there is a procedure to manually close the two sunroofs

Finally have a whole weekend off so i can tip away at it tomorrow, the front drivers window was half ways open for a good while before i bought it but managed to close that by using a car battery and 2 wires into the window plug behind the door card, must try do something with the sunroof now as its tilted open at the moment. Can you tell me where that control module is located by any chance?

Think it's under the rear seat

You can put an Allen key into the motor and manually close it? Was the car on the road? I know when I first learned to drive I used to drive me e34 through huge puddles just for the splash and would regularly lose windows and sunroof. I've since grown up, marginally. Check that the splash guards are all in place properly. I for some reason think that water was getting in on the passenger side (possibly to the relay box on the passing side). I never checked out was there a leak but in a few days it used to sort itself out.

Car wasn't driven for a good while i think and one day he put the window down and it wouldn't go back up again<last owners words. Planned to change whole interior from grey to black anyway so might start stripping it down from inside tomorrow and see if shes leaking in water from anywhere.
