Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation

Moonroof Open
When you push the moonroof switch to the OPEN position, the moonroof open switch applies ground to the moonroof "open" relay through the YEL wire. The moonroof "open" relay applies battery voltage to the moonroof motor through the GRN/RED wire. The moonroof "close" relay supplies ground to the moonroof motor through its normally closed relay contacts. When the moonroof moves out of the fully closed position, the tilt/close switch moves to the OPEN position; the open/close switch moves to the OPEN position.

Moonroof Tilt
When you push the moonroof switch to the TILT position, the moonroof tilt switch applies ground to the moonroof "close" relay through the BLU wire, tilt/close switch and RED wire. The moonroof "close" relay applies battery voltage to the GRN/YEL wire to the moon roof motor. The moonroof "open" relay supplies ground to the moonroof motor through its normally closed relay contacts. When the moonroof is in the tilt position, the tilt/close switch moves to the TILTED position; the open/close switch moves to the TILTED position.

Moonroof Close from the Open Position
When you push the moonroof switch to the CLOSE position, the moonroof "close" switch applies ground to the moonroof "close" relay through the YEL/RED wire, tilt/close switch and GRN/RED wire. The moonroof "close" relay applies battery voltage to the GRN/YEL wire to the moonroof motor. The moonroof "open" relay supplies ground to the moonroof motor through its normally closed relay contacts. When the moonroof is fully closed, the tilt/close switch moves to the closed position; the open/close switch moves to the CLOSED position.

Moonroof Close from the Tilt Position
When you push the moonroof switch to the CLOSE position, the moonroof "open" switch applies ground to the moonroof "close" relay through the YEL/RED wire, open/close switch and moonroof "open" relay. The moonroof "open" relay applies battery voltage to the moonroof motor through the GRN/RED wire. The moonroof "close" relay supplies ground to the moonroof motor through its normally closed relay contacts. When the moonroof is fully closed, the tilt/close switch moves to the closed position and the open/close switch moves to the CLOSED position.
