Is the motor making noise when you hit the button?

Also, do you know how to close the sunroof manually? I never had to do it on our '94, but I thought it was a nice bit of engineering genius.

Well the button doesn't do anything, noise or nothing. And it doesn't have a handle to open manually..

The diagram states that is fuse 14 with 20Amps....

You are 100% sure that this is factory? I have never seen a DX with a factory sunroof. If it is aftermarket, that is why you cannot shut it manually as christian mentioned.

I was thinking the same thing.

If it's a factory sunroof, there should be a little circle in the headliner (I think it's near the rearview mirror). If you pop that off, there's a **** in there that can be turned to open and close the sunroof. Our '94 had a special tool that was packed in with the lung wrench and such. It was one of those things that was designed to get it closed just in case.

Otherwise, you'll probably want to pull the headliner to get to the motor and see if current is getting to it. If it is, the motor is probably bad. If it's not, it's possible the switch is bad, or may even just have dirty contacts.
