The passenger side pwr window switch was kaput, so armed with a new one from our host, and anticipating a 5 minute fix, I popped the old one out of the door. Then proceeded to swap one wire at time on the numbered terminals & popped it back in the door. Move the switch down and ... nothing. Moved it up and the window rolls down, moved it down and the window rolls up, wtf??? OK, back into the house to dig out the Bentley thinking the PO must have screwed something up once upon a time. Pull out the switch again and check the wires vs. the Bentley diagram. Hmm, everything appears to be correct. Put it back in and try again - operation is still reversed. How can this be??!!! Doh! Finally the light bulb comes on - the switch is in upside down. Oh well at least I didn't break anything.
