Default Civic 1998 Moonroof opens but won't close

My civic 98 moonroof with very few use like once every 45 days one day it opened but did not close, I hit a couple of punches to the lining and on each punch it moved a little then another punch until it close, 1 year later without moving it, I am trying to fix it and it opened but didn't close with punches.
Any clue?
And thanks

You might want to stop punching your car.

jajajaaj thanks Ron for your help I won't hit him again, I did measure the voltages in the switch connector with the sunroof at the closed position and there is:

1- Yellow is 12v as it should be
2- yellow/red 0 volt is wrong it should have 12v
3- blue 0 volt is wrong it should have 12v

Analizing the schematic I see that my problem is the Tilt/close switch which is maybe broken or maybe dirty inside, is a heck of a job because I'll have to remove the headliner in order to get access to this tilt/close switch block, I am going to spray it with contact cleaner and see if it can get fixed because I think this switch block is not sold new.

I'll let you know soon

Sounds more like fuse 24 is blown.

If fuse 24 is blown it won't be 12v at the Yellow in the sunroof switch and won't open either.

Thanks for help Ron.

Given that both the Yel/Red and Blu wires lack voltage, both the Open/Close and Tilt/Close switches may be bad, not just the Tilt/Close switch.
