Want this question answered?
My brother works for a Saturn dealership. He said if the fuses are good and the sunroof won't do anything it is the sunroof motor. If it moves a little bit it's either the cable or the rails. That's what the techs at the dealership told him.
The sunroof motor is in the headliner, above the motor switch You have to remove the sunvisors and pull down the headliner to see it

yes

Take it to an automotive trim shop, It is about impossible to work on a sunroof and not make it leak
Connect the sunroof motor with the sunroof motor retaining bolts. Connect the sunroof linkage. Connect the wiring harness to the back of the sunroof motor.
the sunroof motor is simple to replace, but may be time consuming. you first have to remove the headliner. take all the trim holding the headliner off to bring the liner down. once you are inside the headliner, remove the two screws holding the sunroof control assembly. Disconnect the wireing harness from the motor. 3 screws hold the motor in place. Before removing the motor, make sure the sunroof is closed and sealed shut. the motor is timed to the position of the sunroof. Do not turn the motor gear under any circumstance. once the motor is out, inspect the drive cables for any visible wear. Installation of a new motor is just the opposite of removal. the new motor should come pre-timed to the "Closed" position.
It is a doable DIY job. You might have a look at this tutorial; http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115688&highlight=sunroof
check your fuses check the motor on the sunroof, mine was doing the same. So I pushed the wires going into the motor in the direction from the windshield to the back of the car and it works. Bad connection were wires go into the motor that works the sunroof back and forth.
Had the same thing happen to me .. you have to remove the motor. take all visors off and get to the motor carefully and unplug , the hydralics in the sunroof will release sunroof and close. This is a dealer part . Replace the same way. Good Luck !
