1st post says all the wiring was cut out of the car. Now you’re saying all the lights work ?
Can’t be both. So what’s the true story here ?
If you don’t know about BCM’s, modern wiring, 5 volt reference systems and OBD systems, then your best bet is to leave it alone.
Shorting out the wiring or worse case scenario catching it on fire.

It has a aftermarket wiring harness in it. Yes the car is street legal with working lights, wipers, brakes and a bad ass motor. Just trying to make it more comfortable to drive it. In the heat and cold.
Thanks Jeff

Well, once you get the HVAC going, you won't need the sunroof.

When I had a car with a sunroof, after a few times, I never wanted to use it. It just let too much heat in, never even pulled the inside cover back anymore.

Then eventually, with use, it will leak.

BCM is Body Control Module and ECM is Engine Control Module... since the car has been modified you will need to wire directly to the sunroof motor and whatever switch you are going to use. Find the hot and ground at the motor and go from there, reverse polarity to open/close unless its a 3 wire operation Hot ground Hot

Just an HHR shell body. Engine, suspension and everything else is non HHR. Asking for help on this HHR forum is the wrong place. Contact a performance shop or mod shop for help.

Then you only need to determine which is power and which is ground in the area of the sunroof switch se post #1.
