As long as you have the diagram, it's easy enough to do a continuity test on each of the two wires using the other end of the wire and the cut end you have. From there you can be sure it's hooked up correctly.
Thanks again guys, allset now. I resoldered the wires and wrapped them around the left side, where there was plenty of room and no pinching.......5 fuses later and some swearing and we're ready to ride!.......oh and sorry about using bad language on here earlier. Pretty strict.
