The switch is bad I am for sure of but the sunroof is stuck open and now I cant close it I have to go to the dealer to get the switch and since it is Sunday they are all closed. I need it shut because it is going to rain tonight and tomorrow, so is there a way I can close it

If you can get at the wiring for the sunroof switch, use a jumper wire and bypass the switch. The dark green wire is voltage to the switch, you may have to turn on key, for voltage. Use jumper wire from green wire to orange wire, the roof should close. If the roof won't move, then I don't think the switch is the problem. Here are diagrams of the sunroof wiring and module and motor replacement just in case.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers.
