Power window sunroof failure 95 Volvo 850

The windows and sunroof are not working suddenly.
I have wiggled and changed the circuit breaker in fuse 37 to no avail. One of the window switch covers in the center console is missing and it has been damp/rainy which could have shorted it out. Also the switches have been loose and I was finding that the when I started the car, the switch would be stuck 'on' for the driver window a lot. This may have caused a failure in the switch board or master switch relay, but then would the sunroof also fail?
I planned to take out the switch board and clean it, but am stuck on how it ties in with the sunroof?
I need diagnosis and fix ideas please. Pics would be appreciated : )

The power windows and sunroof share that breaker.
Once the window switches are unplugged,
you should have the sunroof back.
Then fix the windows - Done

if you need to manually close the window, take off the light plate up top, there is a screw that turns next to the motor and if it is stuck open or closed you can use that flat head screw to open or close it.
pop the 2 covers off the lights, take out the torx head screws and remove the cover. you will see the screw

I replaced the relay and fixed it. Thanks
