R52 roof only opening to sunroof

Good afternoon,
My roof recently only opens to the sunroof. It has a solid red light on the close button.
Any suggestions what I could try to fix this please? Or what parts are likely to be at fault.
Thanks

Thanks for posting these threads. I've read through them I don't think mine is the same issue.

As soon as I start the engine the red light comes on solid. I can open the sunroof but it doesn't start the next stage.

Would this something that's been experienced at all?

I appreciate all suggestions or replies.
