Do you check if the system have power or ground? Check the fuse of the sunroof. If all this are good. Is maybe the motor that died. One of my friend have a camry and the sunroof no want to open. I check the plug, power and ground and just start working perfect after I plug in back. Sometime the connector just do not make good contact and doing that. The connector make better contact and the equipment begins to work again. I hope and this is your case and not the motor of the sunroof that died.
