Hey guys! I just bought a NEW Solaire 4200/5200/5400 SUNROOF MOTOR, and I have no idea how to wire this thing. I have the green/blue hooked up to the switch, but where do I wire the red/yellow to?
I'm thinking maybe red to the fusebox and yellow is ground? idk it just seems weird to me.

Thanks in advance!

Id guess the red is hot as well and yellow would be ground. Looks like the sunroof gets hooked up to a 20a fuse. You should be able to get an add a fuse and use a 20a fuse to power it. If you dont want to use an add a fuse, you can wire up a relay and use a 20a inline fuse setup as well.

For the ground, either find an existing ground connection or tap into some bare metal. Best of luck cutting a hole in your roof [:)]

Yea I agree with the post above me. Sounds like your red wire is the hot and your yellow is the ground wire.

haha no, there was a motor in my car but all the wires were cut, so i tested it and the motor itself was shot. googled the sunroof motor and turns out it was an aftermarket one and i just bought the exact same one. all i want to know is where exactly do i plug the yellow/red into? it seems like there should be a spot somewhere that had a plug and i should find it, i just don't know where.
