I just thought I'd post this so the next guy won't go crazy.

I had an issue with my sun roof one day. It wouldn't close. And it was going to rain. Uh-oh. I also found that several other things wouldn't work - the visor lights, the individual dome lights (although opening the door caused the lights to go on...), some of the windows wouldn't work, the electric door locks wouldn't work...

I started hunting for fuses, relays, etc. No blown fuses. No apparently fried relays. Under the dash I found one relay that seemed warm. When I noticed the lock problem I had a fleeting thought - wiggle the door key.

Voila!

Something about the switch in the door lock was sticking, draining the battery, screwing up the relay that controlled all those various items.

So - if you can't close your sun roof, check the door key.

Go figure.
