Help I'm Screwed!!

My sunroof is partially open now (about 4 inches or so) and i can't close it. When i push forward it does NOTHING, i can't even hear the motor but it goes back just fine. GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Any advice would be appreciated.

this happened to me this week also. left my car parked with the sunroof vented and when it came time to close it for the night it would close i believe due to the rain that got in and wet up the switches. took the switches out and shook em out. let it dry for a few and worked as it should

pull the panel the holds the switches and your lights off and cross the wire from the 'open' side of the switch to the 'close' side just to get it closed, then pull the switch and check it out/ or check it first before you jump the wire. if its gonna rain i'd jump it right away and deal with it later, at least it'll be closed.

green is closed, yellow is open, you can remove the solder (heat it with a propane torch on the green side, remove the wire, heat the yellow side, remove the wire, and put the green on the yellow side it may work, just an idea, it should work if the problem is the switch I believe. im not 100% sure on this but you can always re solder it if it doesnt work

just tryin to give an idea but check ALL your fuses first.

Well, i got it closed. I opened the switch and cleaned the contacts because i saw some black spots on it (the contact) and i was able to shut it. I can only SHUT IT by hand but it will OPEN with the switch.???

Thanks 4 the replies. There is definately something wrong with the track. i guess i'll just leave it closed for now.
