the interior fuse panel has a black button to the right of it that you press and the fuse panel drops down so you can access the fuses.

New guy feels the need to help even though it's a new thread.
My motor is shot..well the motor is fine but the plate that holds the gears is cracked...So I found if you pull the bezel (pop out the light assy and then two phillips screws) you can remove the motor assembly by pulling the 3 torx bolts. THen close it by hand, mine seemed to move very smoothly. Good luck !!

To the OP, mine did this the other day, I took the sunroof motor out, unplugged it, plugged it back in, cycled it a couple times to make sure it was synced (in others words, full open back to close), put it back it place and haven't had a problem since. It's almost like it got jammed up some how and just needed to cycle with no resistance.

Check your fuses first as that is the easier way and doesn't risk breaking any tabs on the sunroof motor cover.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
