Default sunroof wont shut

hey wuts up i have a 98 ex coupe.
i went to shut my sunroof earlier and it wouldnt shut.
im a very experienced mechanic i just wondered if anyone had a similar problem.
both relays are clicking behind the sunroof switch so i assume they are working because they are each single circuit relay one to open it one to shut it.
i got it to shut by cranking the motor with an allen wrench but obviously i would like it to work properly.
the motor would be an obvious call but it seemed to be working fine since ive had it.
any ideas?

might be kinda tuff to figure out.... if your hearing a clicking noise from the relays then i would asume the motors going bad....
have you tried to work the sunroof anymore after manualy closing it?
might just be a dead spot in the motor or even some of the mechanical sprokets broke... realy hard to tell without pullen down the headliner and realy geting into the motor....

yeah no luck on getting it to work after i cranked it manually.
its weird because i bought a drivers door from the salvage yard and the window wouldnt roll down so i got the motor all the way out and it was the fuse. thats what i did right before i went to shut the sunroof so i thought maybe i caused a short somewhere but i dont think any of the wiring for the sunroof is anywhere near the drivers door wiring. checked fuses already. i guess ill just have to check the voltage going to the motor.

chk fuse # 51 underhood fuse box 20amps
and fuse # 24 underdash fuse box 7.5 amps

both fuses have to be ok for moon-roof to work , they each power both relays
