    I have a 98 Honda Civic with moonroof and trying to install a powerered
    auto dimming / compass mirror. I took out the interior trim of the left
    front pillar and see a bunch of wires. Most wires are about 16 gauge, I
    have noted the ones that are thicker. They are colored

    Yellow
    Yellow with Red Stripe (14 gauge)
    White with Red Stripe
    Green with Red Stripe (14 gauge)
    Aqua / teal with Red Stripe
    Green with Yellow Stripe
    Blue
    Black (12 gauge)


    I need ground, ignition on(or accessory, but prefer ignition), and
    constant on wires. I'm thinking black is ground, and constant on I can
    just tap from the map lights. Any ideas which one would be the ignition
    on wires?

    Looking at the service manual, the white/red is the constant on, and
    the black is the ground. Your requirement for ignition on is a bit more
    complicated because the rest of the wires operate the moonroof and the
    ceiling light. There does not appear to be a single wire for ignition
    on (e.g., yellow is ignition on when the moonroof is opening).

    I think your best bet is to run your own ignition on wire from under
    the dash. Maybe someone else will have a better idea, but I don't think
    it would be too hard to run a new wire up and around the pillar.
