The headlight problem is probably related to a bad switch. Search for posts by icemark.

when trying to close the sunroof ( if the motor is still working )

reach out of the door, and push on the back of the sunroof with a foward/downward direction ( like how is supposed to close )

mine used to open fine, but to close it I had to push it foward/down

ok you guys i went out and checked the fuses they seem good i think the sunroof problem is with the switch the only thing is i went out and looked at the fuse box and the 30 amp retracter slot has a 60 amp fuse in it i dont know if that would do anything, but not only wont my head lights come up the wont even turn on. *note no engine in the car * all my gauges pillar pod parking lights come on no turn signals. ?????????????????

HOW does someone press "submit reply" with the message looking like that?? Did you not even look over what you typed? that is simply pathetic. you dont even ask what you want from us? okay so your sunroof works like crap.. and?? at least thats what i think you mean.. should we really all have to assume?

can someone please tell me where the fuses for the sunroof is located? I have a 1991 RX-7 NA, and the sunroof refuses to close down, i'm not sure if the motor is working either can I tell by hearing it or something like that? All help is appreciated. I am pretty new to cars and i'm young and still in school, so I never really had a chance to do work on cars like I wanted too, sorry if this is an easy question or something, I finally have time to work on my favorite car. =]

The FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this section has the fuse layout
