The Bentley manual wiring diagram and the pictures of both sides of
the panel are about as much help as you're going to find.  Each wire
is color coded and the fold out diagram shows that and the terminal
numbers on the panel each connects to.

One of those magnifying devices with a built in light will help ID the
color codes, which all seem to look the same unless illuminated well.
Use a multimeter to check continuity whenever possible.  Take out the
seat, make yourself comfortable and, one wire at a time, complete and
check each circuit.  There is no secret short cut that I know of.
Good luck.
