The automatic shut-off relay/fuse may need some time to reset. Shut the car down and return to it in an hour then try again.

I'm trying to find a fuse diagram for my car to see if the Sunroof fuse went bad. Do you know where to find a 02' Fuse Box Diagram?? Thanks for reply

You can close it manually but you have to remove the moon roof console and then the motor. The motor drives the moon roof with a square drive. You will need to find a matching square wrench to crank it closed.

But if it had been working it most likely will come back. Things can get hot and then stop when overheated.

Remember that if you move the moon roof without using the switch it will throw the moon roof out of sync and you will need to resync it. The procedure is in the service manual.

Do your windows work?

One other thing. Can you hear the motor running when you press the switch? You could have broken a cable or had something go off track but I have never heard of it on the S Type?

I'm thinking he overloaded the circuit causing the circuit protector fuse to trip. Giving it some time to cool and close the circuit may be in line. The windows have this protection feature too.
