I'm repairing/cleaning my Canonet QL17 G-III. But there's a problem ;)

I needed to take of the whole lens, so I also had to unwire it. The problem is I did it awhile ago, and now I forgot where I've to connect one of the wires :bang:

It's a blue wire which starts at the battery compartment and goes I suppose to the backsite of the lensunit. I've a repair manual but it isnt that clear about the wires/colors. So I really hope someone here knows where I have to connect that blue wire to... I know the chance is maybe little, but I've high expectations from you guys haha ;)

I've made some photos:





the wire

The A and B marked sites are sites which I suspect were previously connected by a wire. I hear you thinking, but you only had one wire...
Yeah thats right, but there is a small chance that I lost one. I dont know but maybe somebody knows I need to connect both sites? :angel:

So 2 questions how do I need to connect the wire between batterycompartment and the A or B. And do I need another wire?
I'm really aware about how specific these questions are, but I really dont know any other way to find this out.
 
Point A is where the blue wire has been soldered at factory, but A and B are actually connected together so both are fine.

The red wire is the other one needed between body and lens.
