More power window switch weirdness

Hi all. I’m having a hard time figuring this out. On a mid year 911, the passenger window goes up and down only if/when I swap the positions of the green and black wires on the passenger door switch (with each other). Leaving the wires in one place, the window will only go down. Swapping the wires, the window will go in the opposite direction. The driver door’s passenger window switch has no effect. The driver door switch works fine.

My switches are new German parts and are wired like this:



I’m no guru on electrical issues, so any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

I just had to sort out the switches as I had my door cards off and I forgot what went where. You should have a red/ w wire, a blue/blk, blue/brn, red black, brown. I’ll grab my book where I sketched it in. Copy what I wrote. I have the 2 drivers side and the pax

I know the top ones red.
