Terry,
Unfortunately, the lack of response was more than likely due to your choice of the subject title.

Sounds like the roof relay has gone, mine did the same (not the motor running) clicked but nothing happened, i got a new one from Merc for about £12 I think, the danager could be the motor may have burned out, however it was still running when you pulled the fuse may be OK,
The relay is next to the pump, but you need to remove the metal panel to access it not hard but a bit of the pain, I'd recomend some trim removal tools to pop the trim pins off

No probs just be a bit careful as I had the roof codes read at an local garage with the correct kit (£45) and it said something like "low power to motor" and this could send them off in the wrong direction,
The fact the motor didn't turn off means the relay is def a gonner and should be replaced straight away before it burns the motor out, not that its working away
If you look in the boot at the back there's carpet, remove this and then the metal cover has about 20 nuts and its behind there - I would guess an hours labour,
