@@Flashback502 I felt like McGuyver (Richard Dean Anderson) with the wires and all. Worked great, and fast. I had to remove the spark plug though, because afterward it tried opening again, even though it was unplugged from the switch. Either way, I just repeated the wire trick, and then pulled the spark plug plug. No problem on my 1 hour commute to work today. Thanks again.

Thank you Flashback502! This video put me on the right track and you saved me a lot of money at a time when I cannot afford to have someone else work on my truck. After watching this video I figured out how to get to the guts of the switch, anticipating I would need to jump the switch as demonstrated. What I discovered was a very different setup from what is seen in this video. My switch was all one component with the wires soldered in place and no way to jump it. However, I realized the only thing wrong with the switch was that the plastic parts of the close button had broken. The copper contact was fine, so I used my screwdriver to push the copper contact down the same as the button was supposed to do, and the sunroof closed. Problem solved!
