My power moonroof froze in place...

Fortunately after I closed it!!! Yesterday I went to open it and...nothing. No noise. Do the motors tend to just quit 100% without warning? Im hoping this is unlikely and its just the switch. How do I replace it? I can see an "indentation" maybe on the front end of each overhead console light next to the switch, they look like you could get a flat-head screwdriver in em, should I take them out and then it will be plainly visible how to get the whole bezel off etc...? Or is it more complicated?  (YES I checked the fuse, kinda pointless though since it shares a fuse with the windows and theyre fine.)
 
Another side note--at about the same time the backlight on my radio screen has gone dead! You can barely read the station number in the day, so the screen works but the light is not there. The lights on all the buttons do work. Any ideas whats up here? Worth taking the radio apart to replace a bulb or something? :hick:

Every time my moonroof has "frozen" it's been the switch or the electrics. I re-soldered the connections about 2 years ago and take it apart every once in awhile for a cleaning.
