I reply:

Remove the dome light (press the right edge to the left and pull down).  There
is a philips screw in the center that holds the sun roof switch/dome light
housing.  Take that out and pull down and forward to remove it.  The sun roof
swich has a multi connector hidden in there.  The ground is attached with a 10mm
bolt.

Sorry I should have included this with my original post.  Good luck.
