No worries,
Take a peek under the left bar, you should see the wires come out of the bottom of the grip and route back behind the switch housing to meet up with their friends. Inside the switch housing, there's a groove that holds the grip in place. All you have to do is notch the housing and grip, believe me once you open it up it'll be pretty self explainatory. Depending on your type of bar, you may have to splice and extend the three wires back to the battery. Oh, and on the right side, the heater wire plugs into the top of the TBW. You can pry the plastic off to take a look now. It only goes one way and you may want to practice before you start to rewire. I ended up using a needle nose to unplug/plug the right side. Sorry I can't be of more help but I did it last winter and to tell you the truth, The only thing I really remember is how frustrating the pulling of wires went. The good news is you can do it all at the kitchen table.
