That would be a lot of fun in the rain - and it's never a good idea to use high current motors while cranking a car.

I always thought the point of "ghost switches" was to use a switch that wasn't obvious to passengers in the car? Seems like every time you start the car by using the power windows that people would catch on quickly.

The sunroof switch on that vehicle is directly in front of the blinker lever. A simple touch of the close portion of the switch would go virtually unnoticed.

I will look in the service manual I have at work to see if the sunroof wire colors are listed. If you do not want to wait till Monday, do you have a volt meter and the ability to get to the wires on the back of the sunroof switch?

You will also need to find the BLACK/ White wire coming from the Ignition switch harness.

That sounds exactly right. When installing the diode, the banded end needs to be connected to 86 as you listed it, or to the positive wire.
