86 to (+) motor wire output of factory module

85 to ground

87 to ground

30 to switch

So, basically when you press the switch, the roof starts to close applying power to pin 86, energizing the relay. Pin 30 will then supply ground back to the switch even when you let go of it. Since you said the relays/module turns off when roof closes, power going to pin 86 turns off, so relay also turns off. Of couse you mentioned that you will supply constant power to the sunroof module when the car is off.

but the problem is that wire is the end of the load... ahhh here

(-+) power 12v source ---------------------------------------[SUNROOF MOTOR LOAD]---------------------------(switch for grounding to activate sunroof)

so you get it now? i'm using the other side of the load which is probably very very low current and that's why i can't just a 30/40amp relay and was asking those relays at www.radioshack.ca is ok for the low current etc... can someone help me now?

If you are refering to my post, then i guess you don't get it. The switch does not energize the relay. The motor side does. Maybe you need a diagram?

the switch NEEDS a ground to activate it.. there for the current is going OUT of the switch into the chassis ground.. meaning it's 12V....
