My power windows and sliding roof are not working. It is very intermitent. Sometimes they work other times they don't.
I started my car rolled the windows down and cracked the sunroof and by the time I got home nothing worked.
Restarted car and looked at window switch and noticed door safety switch power flickering. Any ideas ?????

You mean the headlights flicker on the road?
It could be as simple as the connection. I had the same problem with my passenger side. I unplugged and replugged my connector and then it was fine.

the number 14 fuse was out, 1 10 amp mini fuse in the number 14 slot and the sun roof, windows amd alarm started working again...much as I hate to admit it ....pays to read the manual.
