Default 96 STS Sunroof wiring needed

Would like to add a small switch to disable/enable the sunroof after the ignition switch is turned off. Need help on the wiring.

is your purpose to operate the roof without the ignition on? one would have to bypass the ignition....... so i think id find the fuse, and run your wire/ switch from there...... does your roof have two switch? one for tilt-up, the other for draw back. im not sure and dont think i myself would attempt it, but its your car....

what you need is a always on hot, before your factory switch..... ??????

good luck

The sunroof automatically closes shortly after the ignition key is removed unless I push one of the sunroof buttons as I exit the car. I want to be able to "lock" (cut off power) the sunroof in the vent position to avoid pushing the button each time I exit the car. Since the mechanism is not working properly anyway, I would like to be able to control when the sunroof motor runs.
Any suggestions?
