Window Switches

After replacing the passenger switch, it still doesn't operate the window (the switch in the passenger door does work). So I swapped the pin 1-2 wires on both drivers side switches to see what happened. Turns out that the passenger window switch still doesn't work, and the driver's side worked opposite (up caused the window to go down and vice versa).

So two questions:
1. I wonder why my switch wiring is opposite the pinout provided by 86 above.
2. Can one of the other switches be responsible for causing the driver side passenger window switch to not operate? I know they're all tied together.

Matt,

Here's a snippet from our factory manual:
