Try keeping the button pressed quite hard for say 15 seconds. Sometimes that can re-set things.  It could be a poor contact on the switch - can you see if you're getting 12v after the switch?

As does every other Omega  ;) but it also pushes/presses in too!!  :y  :y  :y As per the book, try resetting it, turn to tilt, press/push the turn switch and hold till all movement stops. Do the same for fully open too, and your sunroof should be rest. if it doesn't, I think then that there may be a fault somewhere in either the supply or the motor/control box.

Yes, twist type switch, 3 portions, open closed and tilt, with incremental points between
 To reset, press the switch, press the switch(up) into the roof in each position. Now, i had in issue with this when the battery had been disconnected, and did the reset, as you have to, with the windows and sunroof. The sunroof then would open but would not close fully and would open again. I could not get it to close, and of course it started raining. I disconnected the battery again and set the dial/switch to open first and THEN pressed it in, and all worked fine once pressed in closed then tilt. I think the switch may not have been pressed in the correct position, ie slightly open. So the electrics thought the sr was closed when it was not. Point is you may need do the same, press the switch in the open position first, then close then open tilt. If no good disconnect the battery and try again,( plus the window reset for one touch, hold the switch in up position for a couple of seconds after closing on each window) If still no good you have a further problem which, apart from changing the fuse, i have no further experience with. Hope helps. :-)

Yep, it just took me an hour to say it. Not giving my dinner to the dog for the sake of a bloody sun roof. :)

Is the switch area supposed to illuminate ?

There should be a back light  :y. The lamp is available from your nearest friendly dealer.
