Sunroof switch won't close the sunroof,looking for the way to manually close it

There should be a crank on your fuse box cover {hexagonal section}. That is the manual closer for sunroof. You have to take off cover for readong/interior light to access the cranking point.

The sunroof on my 2006 Lincoln Zephyr is tilting and sliding on its own. Dont know where the owners manual is.

Don't need an owners manual to push the button, to
actuate the sunroof

Maybe you have the owner manual with your
preventative maintenance log book ,where you
write down all you do on the car

If it won't operate correctly, you need a repair shop !!
