Shookie,
Where ya been? It could be the rain sensor. Shut off the sensor and see if it will work. If not, could be a motor problem or circuit board. Pull down on the black knob putting it in the manual mode and turn it to open the cover, then see if things start working. If you remove the shroud, you should be able to get to the power leads to check for voltage, or check it at the fuse with a multi-meter.
You can probably get some troubleshooting help from Fantastic, they're really good. I have a bunch of parts, but they change with model numbers. If you have a 2000, I can probably help with some parts.
