I did a search on this topic but didn't find anything. Stupidly, I left my key in the on position yesterday after opening the windows in the morning. I didn't realize it until evening. Battery was dead. I put the charger on it over night. Starts fine, windows, OBC, radio...Everything works except for the sunroof. Battery is only a few months old. It's in the pop-up vent position but nothing happens any way I press the button. Any help is appreciated.

Try doing a complete reset on the car. This is also known as the Shogun reset. Basically you disconnect the - and + cables from the battery and with the ignition switch in the ON position put the two leads together for a few minutes. Make sure you have the code for the radio before you disconnect the battery. More often than not, electronics will come back to life after a reset. HTH
in the driver's door, turn all the way to lock and hold it for a 10 seconds. this will close any open windows and the roof.
Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........
Thanks for the input. I was going to do the shogun reset but decided to go through a couple of remote lock cycles. That worked fine and then I tried the key all the way to the right once more and got the sunroof to close. Then turned the key on and the sunroof worked properly. Confusing, but what the heck. Thanks for the input.
