Im really struggling to get this around my head, i think i have read it so many times i have confused myself (i need to swap from series to parallel as i didn't realise first time round)

Using the diagram above
Parallel
A+ (Yellow/White to Red)
A- (Yellow to Red/White)
B+ (Green/White to Black)
B- (Green to Black/White)
Series
A+ (Yellow/White)
A- (Red/White)
B+ (Green/White)
B- (Black/White)
(Yellow to Red) not connected to any terminal, just connect together and insulate.

Ok so when in parallel you pair the 8 wires (4pairs)accordingly and then they would go strait to the terminals on the driver were as in series you just have 4 of them paired (2pairs) and the other 4 go to the driver?
Many thanks

The colours look to be in the right places, just can't make out the labels.
Where you have that earth wire showing it's good practice to cover it with black tape or a piece of black sleeving just so anyone else would know it's being used as a live conductor and not an earth wire.Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted
