1999 Mercury Cougar and the sunroof will not work if it is not the motor or the fuse what could it be?

The '99 and '00 model year cougars featured a sunroof with a plastic weight bearing rail and shoe, this shoe has a very common tendency to break, seizing the sunroof in place.
This is an engineering flaw that Ford is well aware of, to the extent that they had the supplier of the sunroof assembly redesign the component for the '01 and '02 model years with an aluminum rail and shoe. Even though they did redesign the part though, they do not do replace the broken parts for free. You will likely be charged the full $800 for the assembly, and then $300-$500 for the labor to put the new assembly in.
You can use one of the newer assemblies in your cougar if you can find one, but they are not a commonly found item.

How do you fix the sunroof on a 1999 mercury cougar it won't open or close using the switch?
The most common problem with the 1999 to 2003 Mercury Cougar sunroof is the motion mechanism breaks away from the cable that pushes and pulls the sunroof open and closed. You can tell if this is the problem with your sunroof because the sunroof motor will whir, but the sunroof stays put, or moves a fraction. This is due to a design flaw, and cannot be fixed. The parts of the sunroof are either welded or riveted together, and do not come apart for service. In short, you have to buy a whole new sunroof. The part # is F8RZ63518A30AB for the sunroof. Google it to your own dismay. Did you check to see if there is a fuse for it? Try to locate an owners manual, they are usually marked what fuses are what or pull the cover off the fuse box(es) and sometimes they are written on the back of the cover what fuse is what. There may be several fuse boxes to locate, like under the dash by where you feet are, or out in the engine compartment.
