Expert Reply:
You'll probably have to pull off the hub/drums to see where the wires go. It's most likely that your assemblies have two magnets and two of the wires are power and two are ground, one for each magnet, but since your configurations is not standard we'll have to look further into what's going on with the assemblies. Can you get me pictures possibly of the magnets?
If you see two wires ran to each magnet you'll need to run a power circuit and a ground to each of them since they are not polarity sensitive.
