I have a aftermarket sunroof installed some time by the original owner. As far as what you can see, it looks good, but the wiring is a fire waiting to happen. What they did is run what looks like maybe 18 gauge speaker wire. For continous power, they t-tapped off one of the main 10 gauge ignition switch feeds. Then the wire is run as retarded as possible making sure to rub against multiple sharp edges before a 20amp fuse tapped inline. For On/Acc sense, they t-tapped off one of the 12 gauge ignition switch wires. Which, they even screwed up picking a wire because the one they picked is only hot in On. No fusing to speak of for the sense wire, either. What Im going to do is unhook this mess and repair the damaged ignition wires then run new wiring for the sunroof. I think since these taps are only a couple of inches from where the harness connects to the actual ignition switch, I can disconnect it from there and pull apart the connector to remove the damaged wires. Then I can push heatshrink over the end. Just razor blade off the insulation, melt some solder into the slice and shrink the tubing...
