IIRC , the windows work by having power to the motors then the switch actually reverses the ground path...
Just looking at the color codes of the wires on the other , still assembled switches oughta get you going again .

The odometer had alreadt stopped, at 256K The AC still works, the power door locks still work, and the vacuum system holds good...the rear windows had just quit, and now the driver's window is down 1/4" and I can't see how I am going to get power to it to raise it. Is there a schematic for the window switches? I popped one of the rear ones apart, not knowing all the wires would become seperate!! I guess I can pull the oyher rear switch and see the order that one is in, and replace the others to their rightful order. I don't need them to open anyhow, but the driver's window would be nice! Maybe I can canabilize the rear to fix the driver window!
