Default Sunroof stop working but windows work fine....

Ok guys I searched and came up empty. I recently noticed my sunroof stopped working all together. Back, forward, nor tilt works. I know it worked before because I used to always crack the sunroof. My windows work fine so I figure its not the fuse, but I checked it anyway and its good. I recently rerouted my harness from the driverside fender. Not sure if something came loose. I crawled back down there and checked to see if anything came unplugged. From what I can see its all good. Any ideas guys? Sunroof relay maybe? I don't even hear a click or any sound when trying to engage the sunroof. Thanks guys...!!

Pull the switch panel on the roof where the lights and swtich are and check for power. if you have power its either the switch or the relay. If no power then you have a clipped wire somewhere.

^ ok I'll check that. Where is all the sunroof wiring concentrated at? Let me guess the driver side kick panel fuse box? Also where is the sunroof relay box located?

I had a similar issue. Replaced the relay and it worked like a charm

Ok went out and probed the switch and all of a sudden it started to work again. I'm thinking there is a bad ground somewhere or the relay is on the way out. Thanks for all the help guys....!!
