The wires go to a switch on the dash that you'll need to get because it's a peculiar switch (DPDT switch internally wired for polarity-reversal). That switch has another two wires going to the moon roof relay. One is a shared ground and the other is ignition power.

I wouldn't use the relay. I'd run the power wire to a fused (10a) ignition source ie the under dash ignition option output. The other to a ring terminal to chassis ground. Use 14 gauge stranded wire.

I have the switch already in my dash now... just gotta plug it in im pretty sure
