Remove screws to top of handle make note of wiring on inside of handle. You will need to disconnect a wire but and 4 wires hooked to the switch to get the handle off. There is also a washer like device holding the switch to the bottom of the handle you will need to reuse this metal fastener.
Once the handle is off route the wires ba ck through the square hole in the bottom of the handle.
Wire nut the white wire and route the two blacks on one side and the yellow and red on the other. Hook them back to the switch and reattach the black plastic switch with the round metal fastener. Put the top on and screw down the yellow handle then add the black top handle with the two larger screws.
