[s-cars] Sunroof motor....

[Michael Wakefield]

On the same note, I had corrosion several inches up the positive
battery cable under the back seat.  It was acting like a big resistor
which reduced the voltage some.  I spliced in a new cable, soldered it,
covered it with shrink tubing, and everything works better.  I have
always used a vented battery, so I'm not sure why it happened, but it's
something to keep aware of.
