MoonRoof wont open!!

So i just bought my 04' RX-8 yesterday. the previous owner had no problems with it. earlier today when i drove it i had the moonroof down, it worked fine, a few hours later i drove it again and it wouldn't open. i pressed both buttons and heard nothing. i keep trying every hour or so and nothing. and right now it's not closed all the way. it's sticking up in the back about 1cm. i checked the fuse and it's fine.

help

ok in my first post i described while i was driving that i tried to open it and nothing happened. i've tried it while driving, and while parked with the key on. still nothing. The engine light came on yesterday while the guy i bought it from was driving to meet me. everything seemed fine with it then, the sunroof just started acting up today. could it be electrical?

Maybe the switch went bad. Have a freind push the switch while you slightly nudge the window. It could be mechanically stuck.

If your not good working with your hands, thake it in to the dealership.
