I'm not sure I'm understanding this one. Are you saying that the two rear window switches are still reversed?

Also, the switches may have been substituted for 4000 switches or something along those lines. That might explain them being upside-down. Look closely at them, I never noticed this till I had them side by side.

  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
