Stu Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 A sunroof motor and door lights require very different wire.. so detail exactly what you need and suggestions can be made! No 'etc's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehotminute_191 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 cable diameters all depend on the amps being drawn really. generally the cars loom uses up to about 2.5mm squared. then you got the starter cable which is more like 25mm due to a larger current draw. i would say to be safe sunroof and seat motor- 2.5mmlights- 1.5mm these are pretty good sizes because when you get your crimps you need red crimps for 1.5mm, blue for 2.5mm or yellow for 4-6mm but you shouldnt need them.
