Well.... The plot thickens!  So I can get the rear left passenger window
working from the drivers door now!  Why?  Well, because it runs of the rear
RIGHT switch, of course...

Weird... ?  Ok, so the rear left window's switch is good, but Up is down,
and down is up.  Can't figure that out.. So I took the two-prong motor
connector and swapped it on the switch.  Now up is up and down is down...
still odd.

And now I've also got two switches bad.  I found out that the driver's door
switch for the rear left window didn't work, so I swapped the rear right
switch for that, and got it plugged in correctly so the left switch operates
the left window... .Whew.

Ok, so I popped open three windows switches and I'm seeing two different
things.  It looks like a much newer design, with an LED and printed circuit
board, and one much older design that is all copper basically.   What do I
do to clean these buggers?  De-oxit or what?   Thanks,

~Nick
