Nice answer!

Electrical problems, I find, are so hard to diagnose.

If you screw up putting the radio code in. You have to reset the battery.

Radio codes need to be put in, while the key is at ignition 1. Pretty easy to do.

The washer pump and sunroof, sound like relays?

loose connection?

You really can't diagnose this stuff on the net.

thanks for the update, when you say reset the battery do you mean unhook the negative lead to reset the computer to factory settings?

washer pump turned out to be a faulty pump and the sunroof turned out to be a grounding issue.

never heard of placing key at ignition 1 to program radio code but i will give that a try.

as for diagnose on the net it doesnt hurt! thats what forums like this are for.

yes, reset the battery and try it at ignition 1 or ignition 2...
