Charlie:
The wires connect by two plastic plugs. The larger plug is for the
ground
wire (- black) and the positive wire (+ large brown/yellow). The other
plug
is an upside down & backward L shape with two top connectors, with the
top
left wire being br/y and the top right having TWO br/y wires and the
bottom
right wire connector being a brown wire. There is the following marking
on the plastic: IND 1 1
B+ 1
Hope this helps.
