[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 504490, member: 28452"] Your only hope is to associate the wires into groups corresponding to each ring, either by visually tracing them or using a meter. There look to be enough for each ring to have it's own connections, with luck. It also looks like one or two of the rings are dual High/low type, having three wires. On those you need to work out which is which. The controls wiring looks fairly straightforward, with a live and neutral supply to each, and there MAY be helpful legends moulded into the plastic by the presently empty terminals. Googling the control manufacturer' s site may provide some enlightenment, as might use of a meter. DO NOT JUST GUESS AND CONNECT, YOU WILL DO DAMAGE. The moral is do not dismantle something like that without photographing and / or labelling the connections. I do not believe they have come off of their own accord. They should require considerable pulling to detach, but if they ARE excessively loose they need squeezing up to tighten them or they will just get hot and burn out. [/QUOTE]
