Previously if my sunroof was open I could close it with the drivers door open but no ignition , now I can't .The roof works fine but if it's designed to close in a particular way I'd like to know why it's not now, one fault which may or not be related is I can open the cars central locking via the drivers door but it only operates the drivers door not the passenger boot etc .The system works fine on the boot etc but it looks like the solenoid needs attention on the driver side , could this be related to the sunroof
Thanks

Do the windows work with the ignition off and the door open?

Check the door switches and fuse 28.

Also search on here for "windows not working" and find one of Brianmoores post explaining it.

If your blower and door mirrors are working then it is probably the relay.

If not check the starter motor connections.
