The sunroof on my car listed above ZX2 won't complete close. It will open completely and close, but the back won't "sit" down. It is currently in the tilt position. Any suggestions? I just want it closed. I don't anticipate keeping it much longer and don't want to put a lot of money into fixing it.

More then likely either the switch has failed and can't close the roof or the motor has failed. The way to know (and get it closed) is to jump the dark green wire from the fuse to the close position contact on the switch. Doing this will bypass the switch and close the window. However, if it doesn't work then the motor is most likely the issue.

I attached the wiring diagram. Let us know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
