Long story short, 10 years ago my sunroof relay failed and had to be pulled. I reinstalled it today and when I did I found that the mechanic who had done the work had also pulled the power leads out of the fuseblock. I jumped the two wires direct to the battery and everything works, but I don't know where to tap into the fuseblock with them.
Here is my fuseblock:

These are the wires that went into it previously to power the sunroof.

Any ideas as to where I should plug them in?
Thanks,
Dutch

One wire needs to go to a constant power source in fuse box the other one needs to go to a switched power source key on only. More than likely the red is constant and orange is switched try switching them if it doesn't work that way

Ok...so I finally got it working. Here's what I figured out. It helped that the wires were actually short. In fact short enough that I could only reach a certain number of options.
Here's where the leads finally ended up, I will probably move it to a higher amp circuit later:

The only down side is that after 10 years of sitting the roof won't retract internally, but will vent and close. So looks like when I repair the headliner I will have to clean, disassemble and lube the sunroof mech.
Thanks for all the help!!
