I am getting ready to install a 529T, and a 530T, into my Dodge Ram 2500 Series Quad cab Truck

I am going to use the 529T for the sunroof and i have two 530T's i purchased to be able to roll up all windows on arm, and also be able to open them with an option button.
Does anyone know where i can find the wires i need to hook up to the 529T for my sunroof. I opened up the switch in the headliner this weekend, and see very small gauge wires probably 14 or 18 gauge, and figured these are way to thin and theres no way these are running to the motor and figured a relay or control module is being used somewhere...

Any insite into hooking up the 529T to my sunroof would be greatly apprecaited.
Also any insite into the PROPER way to hook up the 530t's to my windows would also be appreacited.
Since the boot from the door to the car is actually a plug on the car side...
The only thing i can think of is to find empty holes in the plug and drill them out and pass the wires through there..

any help in any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Also just a side note, The sunroof in my truck IS FACTORY INSTALLED.

it is NOT aftermarket, it was installed at the factory, this is the first year dodge ram's had a factory sunroof option.

thanks
fred

At the switch, look for orange / YELLOW to tilt

ORANGE / tan to open

ORANGE / Lt.Blue to close

I am not sure if the switch is limit protected, so be carefull testing . It also DOES NOT say if they need pulsed, or latched?

Ahh thats great..

thank you for the help..
And im assuming its a +12 trigger to each, considering there are 4 wires on that switch and the one remainning one u didnt mention has a +12v on it
And are you saying that i should be able to hook up the 529T to these wires, even though it doesnt seem like these are the direct ones to the motor (since they are such small gauge wire)
Or am i wrong and these are direct lines?!
Thank you so much for your help

I FORGOT TO POST THE POLARITY....I HOPE YOU TESTED THE WIRES WITH YOUR METER. Based on your last post I'm guessing you did not. ALL of these wires are NEG(-) trigger.

I made an error NOT posting the polarity, BUT it's up to you to test the wires. I hope you have not done any damage. NO MATTER who ar where you get your info, TEST< TEST< TEST......
