Wiring electric roof (top / hood)
Does anybody know where the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 connect to (see link)?
I have a red wire, a purple wire and a black wire…….. can anyone help me? I've already found the wiring diagrams and they tell me things like "to ignition starter switch, terminal SU" but that doesn't really help me.
Does anybody have foto's of how / where to connect them.
Thanks in advance……

Chudd thanks for your reply.chudd said
look like all earths to me on the diagram :dontknow:
You fitting a power roof to replace manual type ? 4 relays ? What was the donor car ?
![]()
I'm replacing the old wires and motor because it wasn't working (missing cables, some were cut and the motor was leaking fuid), the wires i'm replacing are completely different from the set I bought (trough e-bay, so I don't know what the donor car was).
I now have 4 relays in the trunk just like in the picture (the old set had only 2 relay's in the trunk). The red wire comes from the switch the black and purple come straight from the relays.
