Did you check the main fuse in the engine fuse box? If the wipers work w/key to on then the fuse is good.

There's a wire coming off of the main fuse (trailing coil side of the engine fuse box) which is black and it runs below the fuse box to a similar black wire. On one side of the plug connecting these two similar wires there will be constant voltage as supplied by the battery while on the other side of the connector plug there would not be any voltage when the connector plug is unplugged. If you have voltage one of the two sides then the connector plug is likely loose as the reason why when plugged in the voltage to the ignition switch is not receiving voltage. If everything was good to go there would be constant voltage at the Black wire at the ignition switch.

The Red/Green wire of the headlight switch harness should have voltage w/the switch turned to the 1st position if the illumination fuse is good. If the wire is w/o power then the switch is bad.

They are powered by the room fuse via the Blue/Red wire so you might want to check this fuse. If the fuse is good perhaps you can pop the light housing out to gain access to the two wires running to it. The Blue/Red wire as already mentioned should have constant power. The other wire awaits a ground signal to activate the light. If by chance the Blue/Red wire has power then place a ground on the other wire to see if they turn on.

Did you check the sunroof fuse? W/key to on it should supply voltage to the G/O wire at the sunroof switch.

Could be the switch or a bad relay (there are two of them).
