Default Help with wiring old fish tank fluorescent lamp

I had to replace the switch on my fluorescent fish tank hood, and
unfortunately, forgot how to wire it back together. It a 4 wire switch
(2 Black & 2 Blue) that you push and hold until the bulb fires and
release to turn it on. I tried to wire the Blues to the Blues and the
Blacks to the Blacks and it seems to work but I have a 4 inch piece of
Black wire left over. Anyone have any idea how this thing should be
wired?
