Default Weird electrical issues

I'm having some weird electrical issues on my '03 A4 3.0Q........First of all, for some reason, when I try to close my sunroof it doesn't always close, so I turn it back to open and then close again and it usually works on the second time......Also, My right passenger window acts very strange on occasion......Sometimes when I roll it up, it will stay up for about a second and then automatically roll back down about 1/4 of the way, so I roll it up again and it comes back down, and again.....Usually it stays up after about the 3rd time, but once I get it to roll up the auto roll-down and auto-roll up won't work.....It's really weird.....Also, twice I have turned on my car and have gotten an alert message telling me that one of my high-beams is out....sure enough my passenger side high beam wont be working.....Then the next time I get in and turn it on the alert message is gone, and my high-beam is working fine.....Not exactly sure what is up....Any input would be helpful...Thanks!!

Maybe an exorcist is what you are looking for.

Sunroof... try cleaning the switch, search Audiworld for details.

Window... getting stuck, triggering anti-pinch mechanism, or anti-pinch is faulty.

Headlight... probably a loose wire or dirty connection, should be an easy fix.

You need to get your local exsorcist on the horn asap.... Have him bring the following to take care of the situation:

Garlic
Bible
Volt-meter

Whats with all of the B6 troubles these days???
Do you by any chance live in an area of HIGH humidity??

I've had the sunroof spaz out on me many times before. Most of the time it's when I'm trying to close it, it only closes 2/3 of the way. But it's opened while I was at a stoplight, without touching anything, but it always goes to the same 1/3 open position. I took it to a mechanic who asked me to "reproduce" the problem. Of course it didn't happen for him, but he cleaned the switch anyway, and no lie, I was leaving the parking lot, and it happened again. I guess it's just an inherent glitch.
