usually red is pos and black is ground/negative. but if both colors arent there, go with the one that is....example....if wires are blue and black....keep black as negative.

meh... on a swich it doesnt matter which one you take as + and sich one as -

a swich simply shorts the 2 cables, so the 2 pinns of the pwr_swich are actually shorted (when you push the button)

trial and error should work ... there's only two possibilities
