Is this existing stock setup or you got an aftermarket kit?

Try a Haynes, or Chiltons manual it should have the schematic.

Oh, even better idea. any upullit junkyards nearby. If so see if you can find a truck that had power windows and shred the harness out of it. Take one of your switches with you. If it will plug into the harness i bet it would work. Dont rule out near model years either. Hell I bet even sedans might work. Look at an old Cressida. I'm not sure but I think the window motors would have 3 or 4 wires goin to em 2 positive's for direction and a ground or 2 if the wiring in the car had the same number of wires to the motor a little experimitaion would hook ya up. Do you know how to use a meter or test light? If not maybe a buddy?
Good luck, you'll get it.
