okay, here's the situation.  i was adding extended accessory power via intellistart 4 to my 99 civic SiR.  i managed to find the wire that supplies 12v to the windows, so that worked fine, and i can roll my windows up and down until a door is opened.  then i got greedy, and tried to do the same thing to my sunroof.  i blew a couple fuses (one under the hood in the fuse box labeled door locks / roof, and another in the fuse panel left of the steering wheel label as clock).  so i replaced both, and managed to close my sunroof because it was half open when i blew the fuses.

then, i tried to slide it open using the switch, and nothing happened.  the relay didn't even click.  when i press the tilt button, the sunroof tilts up, and then when i hit close, it closes.  only problem is, it won't slide open.

this is what the relays look like for the sunroof.

the one on the left is for opening, and the one on the right is for closing and tilt.  the one on the right clicks when i tilt up, and close back down.  i tried switching them, thinking that one relay might be no good, but that proved nothing, cuz the relay on the left clicked after i switched it to the right side.

can anyone help?  i'm thinking of borrowing a friend's sunroof switch, and see if that's where the problem lies.  if not, could it be something at the motor?  i have a haynes manual, but it doesn't cover anything about the sunroofs.

to avoid confusion, the pins above should say "showed 12v+ during opening", and "shows 12v+ during closing".
