Ima take a guess and say splice your red cutout wire and connect it to the orange(hot) wire on the seat. Then your black cutout wire to the black seat wire.......I'm just taking a wild guess here lol

Ok in the third pic i posted earlier....what I did was cut the right side wiring (dead side) about half way up and then just spliced them together...which you should see in the pictures...there was enough wiring to get butt connectors on them, so i did that so i wouldnt have to worry about it coming apart...hope these help! it only takes about 30-40 min for the whole install..have fun!
