sunroof switch wiring, please help.

[akorcovelos]

ok, I am hopeless with electrical so I am hoping someone with more knowledge can help me here.

I'm attempting to hook a blue base e36 switch up to the power sunroof, unfortunately the sunroof switch wires are different colors than the window switch wires so the write ups I have found don't apply. Below is pics of the switch, and the sunroof wires, any help pairing them up correctly will be greatly appreciated.




Both the switch and the sunroof have 5 wires, just different colors.

sill no luck. How would I test the switch with my multi-meter?

connect leads between hot wires and ground and check for opens and shorts.

I have no idea what this means.
