[V8] sunroof problems

[Kneale Brownson]

Wiring in the driver doorjamb.  Believe it or not, the sunroof electrics
share something with the wiring to the window switches in the driver
armrest, so when the driver doorjamb wiring starts to break down, the
sunroof doesn't want to operate either.  On my 200q20v, when that was
happening, I sometimes could get the sunroof and windows to operate if I
opened the driver door partway.
