***make sure the key is out of the ignition***
I just solved this problem 20 minutes ago on my exact same car. Took 10 minutes.
1. check the fuse (for a 2000 grand am GT, it's the 20amp fuse labelled "I" in the passenger side fusebox
2. if the fuse is fine, it's most likely the switch. Remove the interior trim that outlines the sunroof so you can get a peek at the electronics near the switch
3. pry the foam roof down until you can see the switch, reach in and remove the wire housing from the switch. It will be rectangular with three wires in it. Red, black, and white.
4. put the key in the ignition and turn it on so you have power
5. using two small screwdrivers or a small piece of insulated wire, short the connection between white wire's terminal and either the red or black, I don't remember which but nothing bad will happen if you get it wrong.
6. if you got it right, the sunroof will begin to move as long as you keep shorting it (electrically, this is the same as pressing and holding the "close" side of the switch)
7. keep shorting it until it closes completely, leave the housing disconnected from the switch and tuck it back in the ceiling.
Until you get a replacement switch, you won't be able to use your sunroof. If this did not work, you have a motor problem and should see a mechanic.
