Mine used to do the same thing, soon to find out my rail was jammed..Does the motor sound when u hold the Button?...If u push up on it and try to open does it then ope?..U might want to lift up on it and check the rails...Just a suggestion.

a corroded switch will cause the same problem, and it is very common.

a quick fix is to pop the switch out, separate the halves, and scrape the black stuff that has undoubtably accumulated on the contacts off with a razor blade. add a little dielectric grease when you are finished and button it all back up. i would check this if there is nothing visually blocking the sunroof, and especially if it is an intermittent problem.

for somem reason both times i had the problem it was hardr to close than to open.

hope it is that simple for you.
