Default Sunroof not venting

Im not sure if I have an issue with my sunroof, it seems like it doesnt have a vent feature.

It opens just fine, closes fine but the rear wont come up to vent as Ive seen on other S-types.

Any ideas?

does it do anything when you push the switch as opposed to sliding the switch

I would start at the switch as I don't think its the fuse, as if the fuse had blown it would not work at all

There are 5 front end hit 5 types at my local wrecking yard, and 1 rear end hit. The guys are really cool and have awesome prices I can get the info to them in PM if anyone needs anything.

I paid $75 for the belly pan, plastic wheel wells (both sides) and all mounting hardware. ALOT cheaper then $785 quoted by the dealer without mounting hardware.
