If the sunroof on a 2013 Ford Explorer is stuck in the open position, it cannot be manually closed unless you can access the motor. Typically, the issue is caused by a blown fuse for the sunroof or a malfunctioning motor. The sunroof fuse is usually located in the cabin's fuse box, labeled as number 2 and powered by 20 amps. It is marked as "moonroof" or "moonroof/heated seats". The fuse box is located under the dash panel on the driver's side of the cabin, to the left of the steering wheel. The cover should have a diagram on the flip side, and a plug puller is provided inside the box. Getting the motor replaced in a Ford Explorer can cost around $500 to $550 on average.

To begin, take out the dome light by using a flathead screwdriver to lift it off gently. Then, detach the screws securing the dome light and lower it, remembering to disconnect any electrical links. Undo the plastic runners keeping the headliner in position, and carefully lower the headliner by tugging at the edges until the sunroof motor becomes visible. Locate the sunroof motor connector, and use a wrench to twist it clockwise until the sunroof is fully shut.
