Honda civic hybrid ac compression installation

Hello,
I'm replacing my ac clutch on my Honda civic 2008 hybrid 1.3l. All was fine until I've realized that the old compressor sports 4 wires to the stator. 1 ground, 2 red, 1 black. They are in pairs of two and are different gage wires...
Should i splice the two red wires? Anyone have a wiring/service manual?

There's wires for the clutch, thermal protector, and the IMA high voltage electric drive

Did you buy your parts from a Honda dealership?

I did not. I bought the part off of Amazon. The website said it would be compatible.

The compressor on the hybrid is unique to that car. It's not the same as the compressors on common ordinary civics. Hybrids were very low production cars. Very few were built compared to normal civics.

You probably need to buy the parts from a Honda dealership.
Either your local, or any of many real honda dealerships selling parts online.
