The sunroof is not working and completely opened and won’t work. How do I manually close it?

The only way to manually close the sunroof is to remove the motor cover and sunroof motor and work the drive gear by hand. I would see if the motor is getting power and ground which I have included a guide to help test it and if it is the motor has gone bad and it needs to be replaced. Also check the fuse# F42 and F31 in the interior fuse panel.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on. Here is a wiring diagram so you can see how the system works.
