For some reason (hopefully one of you guys will know) my passenger side window switch lowers and raises the window fine, however if I operate it from the drivers side I have to lift the switch to make the window go down and push it down to make the window go up, the opposite to how it should be! The drivers side window works as it should (down for down etc). Anyone know what this is? I guess the connections the wrong way round but I dont know which wire is which!

When i bought the car Will the switch didnt have the mirror adjuster on it, so i swapped the unit i had for one with a mirror adjuster on from one of our works vans, and i always found it the wrong way round :S, i cant see it being the wiring being the wrong way round as there is only one way the plug will fit in.

The previous switch without the mirror adjuster on worked as it should Crazy

Haha no it was a Peugeot Expert van, and the switch worked fine in the van, but soon as it went into the car, the upside down thing happened, what would you have preferred A. no mirror adjuster or B. upside down switch
