Electric hood wires?

Electric hood wires?

Transplanted the whole electric roof setup into my manual roof car. Everything is done apart from two wires, they are in the loom that runs down the car into the boot that feed the relays pump etc etc.

The wires are coloured Grey/Blue & Black, the GRY/BLU runs back towards the switch for the hood, the black one seems to go back down into the boot.

Ive scoured the forum, I've checked the wiring diagrams that people have suggested in other threads and non of them show the wiring for the setup with the "control box" and not the 4 relays.

Question is…. Can someone tell me where they connect too.

Theres 2x wires that run down each side of the rear seat(1x each side),they are purple in colour and connect to a metal button-type connector,dont know what they are for though,never looked into it,just seen the wires on a cab i broke,they are attached to the inner panels that cover the arches if i remember correctly,still have them if they are what u need and are any use to U?

The buttons stops you opening the hood with tonneau on.

You don't need them as your tonneau prob won't have a link wire in it to stop the hood anyway.

Think the grey/blue goes to G on the back of the fuse box. Just the black wire now that's still loose. If I press on the relays in the boot the hood goes up and down, the Blake wire must just be some kind of switch wire or something????
