Replaced faulty Sunroof/Lighting Control Panel
The ceiling control panel for the Sunroof and Interior Lighting was replaced under warranty due to a noisy fan.
I started to hear tiny noise from the control panel even after the engine was turned off, so I took the car to the dealer. They found the noisy fan as the cause. This also resolved the other issue of Sunroof being closed and tilted (if left open overnight) when unlocking the car in the mornings (had a post for this also but not much responses).
Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

I believe you meant a thermostat with a cooling fan to keep things cool inside that electronic panel (which has much more to control than just lights and sunroof).
In my case, I suspect it was simply caused by some faulty electronics (rather than any objects like insect & dirt) because I also had some weird sunroof auto closing & tilting issue from the beginning which is also resolved now unexpectedly (I thought it was a feature).
