please help: how to reconnect the power window switches

Could someone please tell me how to reconnect the 2 power window switches on the driver's side on an 81 SC? I disconnected them and now I don't know how to reconnect the wires. The left switch has 5 wires: 2 red, 2 blue with black stripe and 1 brown. The one on the right I can't tell the color of the wires because I can't pulll them out I assume the one on the right is for the switch for the passenger's window. I would follow the same procedure for both, I hope.

Any help you could give, I truly appreciate it.
Thanks

Don't know if the terminals are numbered.....but looking at that thread....weird.

Single pole on top is 5

5

2 1

4 3

Let me know, this has my interest. Oh yeah, disconnect the battery when hooking this up.

Here's a pic of how the passenger side window switch is wired:

There are pictures of the switches in my wife's 82 SC in my thread "Dave's Adventures in Door Panels". See here:

Dave's Adventures in Door Panels

--The pic that Joe Bob (hi Z!) has above pretty much matches the switch in the driver's door for the passenger window of my wife's car. The other switch has red wires for the two middle pins on the switch.

Hi Dave....driver side switches....BOTH of them have a set of doubles.

The one pictured is ALL singles......meaning it's located in the passenger door.
