[V8] Subject: Re: Window operation troubleshooting

[NIck Miller]

Oh yea, there are some different ones here.  What do the V8 ones look like?
Like I said, one is about 1/8 in shorter and has a PCB on the inside, the
others, maybe 2-3 look like 5k units, they have some copper contacts that
click back and fourth, and a resistor with a light in it instead of an
integrated led.

Yea, I guess the switches were just swapped around in the drivers door, and
For some reason I have to reverse the polarity of the motor's connector to
get the switch on the rear door to go the right way.  Sort of weird.
