Before investigating further, have you checked the obvious? The handbrake must be on before the roof will go up.

I sometimes suffer this. Mine seems to have a bit of an erratic switch under the handbrake. Dropping it & yanking it up again eventually makes it work.

30 amp fuse, second row down, fourth from left. But I'm with Mistermunkey, I reckon it will be the switch at rear of handbrake.
