The light will only work when your parking lights and/or headlights are on...IIRC...

Things to keep for your "notes"...

Run a search... Type in "Online TSRM". When you find the link & click on it, bookmark the darn thing. You'll also find a bunch of stuff in there about the sunroof as well.

Also, look at toy tech articles at www.autoshop101.com if you want to know some design principles about toy cars including ours.

did you checked continuity in the coiled wire, end-to-end?
It may have broke inside because of being too twisted.
