Sunroof has gone crazy

Wondering if anyone has experienced this before. Now the temperature in TO has been really cold lately but I am not sure if it has any bearing on the problem. My sunroof tilts up on its own every now and then. I could be on the higway and it will just pop up. When I push the button it close but then seconds later it tilts back up and sometimes it does not come back down for a few minutes. Got to the point in which I had to pull out the fuse. Does this sound like a switch problem. Now sporadically I do hear 3 quick clicks from the left side of the car by the switch...any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone?

Most probably the internal components of your Sunroof switch is making contact when they are not suppose to.
Dealer time.

I think so too. Funny thing is that when I pulled out the fuse it still makes the fast clicking sound.

They might also be a relay. However, I am new to Acura sunroofs...so maybe one of the older hands here might be able to help you.

Pull the switch, and see if the sunroof does that still without the switch. It might be faulty.

LOL.... I think that is kinda funny... reminds me of the love bug. Anyways, enough of that, hopefully you are still under warranty, if not, take it to the acura dealer, get them to find out whats wrong and what they are gonna charge, and take it somewhere cheaper to get it done!

I closed it...shut off the engine and pulled out the fuse before it could open again.
