Okay so I'm getting some major issues with the car.

1) Rear defroster doesn't work

2) Fogs don't work though I dunno if they have good bulbs

3) My radio stays on when i take the key out and turns off when I open the door. All of the sudden it's not turning off when I open the door. It stays on. WTF? I had to mess with it for so long before most of everything turned off.

4) This may be an electrical issue. My sunroof won't open or close and is stuck part way open. Would it just be off track or do you guys think the motor for the thing could be toast?

hmmmmm, any help?
I appreciate all your help guys!!

Start with the easiest: check your fuses in the fuse box and also the one under the hood.

Does your dome light work? If your radio isn't shutting off, it could be due to a door trigger issue which may lead us in the right direction.

for the rear defrost do a quick search, there are a couple threads about troubleshooting that.
for the radio i would lean towards the door trigger as well
sunroof could be a fuse or a bad ground or something like that.

fogs could be wiring if bulbs are good, gotta check em....door ajar switch probably went, check all fuses

the door switch is just a spring loaded ground i think so if the spring is still good it just might need to be cleaned

Our door pins are PLASTIC, mine was frozen shut a few times this winter.

My dome lights did not come on e when I opened the door, that is the only way I knew what it was. I wiggled it and it came loose.

Oh i see, so that trigger piece is probably just stuck...

I have a feeling my sunroof is just offtrack, I'll hit the button to open it and it'll make the noise as if it's opening the sunroof, but the sunroof doesn't really open at all.

I checked out the little switch and yeah, it gets stuck when I open it. If I mess with it a little bit, it frees up and everything is fine.
