You issue is most likely either with the Lift Motor # MA10-20270 or the Operator # MA10-20281K-1AF. You can try removing the motor to see if it still operates when disconnected. The operator is going to be mounted under the lid so it can be harder to access as you will need to get on the roof. If you can verify the model of roof vent you have I can check to see if these are the correct parts or if you need something different.

Hey, were you able to figure out whether the lift motor or the operator was causing your MaxxAir roof vent not to open? Once you confirmed the model, did either replacement part solve the issue? Your update could make it easier for others troubleshooting the same problem.
