Power Window Switch Dilema

[jcgranato]

Ok, I need some help! I had a rattle in the drivers door so I decided to tear the door apart. I have done this before with no problems,but this time something went wrong. As I took the five wires off each power window switch I labeled them in a clock wise fashion. I fixed the rattle, installed new vapor barrier and reassembled. I hooked the switches up, turned the key to test and nothing. Nothing except faint smoke from the window switch wires. I turned the key off, rechecked the wire orientation, turned the key and nothing. Except again smoke. What could I have done wrong?

Any insight would be great!

Re-check the connections, but you probably fried the switch.
