Default 93 accord sunroof problems!

yo dudes. my sunroof always used to work, and one day it stopped. Whenever i pressed one of the sunroof buttons, nothing would happen. No sound or anything. I checked the fuses and checked out the motor. I know the fuses arent blown, but im not sure if something is wrong with the motor. After like 2 weeks, the sunroof started to work again. and then after a little while it stopped working hahaha. it hasnt worked for maybe 6 months. its not completely open but it is open a little on one side allowing a lot of cool air to get in. does anyone know the problem? or does anyone know where i can get a sunroof tool to manually do it. because i dont have one. thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!

Check the wiring, hopefully it's just a short or grounding itself out.

Check your owner's manual, see if it mentions anything about a backup way to close the sunroof. Otherwise, figure out where the sunroof motor is and remove the plastic cover over it, see if there is a place to put a flathead screwdriver.

Hopefully Honda had a backup way to close the sunroof. On my now-sold '93 Volvo there was a plastic cover over the sunroof motor, you removed that and there was a place for a flathead screwdriver over the gears. Turn that, and you manually closed (or opened) the sunroof.

As far as the problem itself goes, since it completely died / came back / died, my guess would be a short somewhere.

Our cars automatically close the sunroof when you turn the ignition off, and since you said it made no sound or movement at all during certain times, I would think there is a problem in wiring somewhere as it was mentioned before.

If it were the case that you pressed the button and it made a noise, I would point to the motor as the problem then
