Default Need Help with wiring to power window switch 99 Ls1 Camaro

I have a 99 ls1 Z28.. Just bought the car from a friend of mine. took door panel off of driver side door to fix the rod that connects to door handle.. anyways I noticed when I took the panel off I saw two wires disconnected from the power window switch one wire was a light tan color and the other I believe was blue, I cant remember til I re check tomorrow.. but what part of the switch would those two wires connect to? Anyone know off hand or have a wiring diagram for those power window switches? Thanks guys I greatly appreciate any help.

Do the wires have metal pin grip terminals on the ends of them?

Light blue and tan wires are the connections on the driver's side to control the passenger's side window. Light blue goes on pin B and tan goes on pin C of the window switch. The wires go across the car to pins B and E respectively on the passenger's window switch.

its a light tan wire and grey wire that's disconnected from the switch.. the ends of them used to have the metal contact but it appears they broke.. I know I can solder them back on, I just dont know where those two wires connect to on the switch..

Gray wire goes from pin E on the switch to the express down module on the firewall.

Are the original terminal still in the connector body? If not, I have the P/N for new ones.

BTW - You'll want to use crimp connections. Solder joints are brittle and can break/spark due to the vibrations in a car.

yes the original 2 terminals is still in the switch body, for what would be for those two wires.. I want to solder them in but what if I hooke them up reversed? is it it labeled on the actual switch for where those two wires supposed to go? Im not sure as I wasnt looking out for that.. Thanks guys for the quick responses, I greatly appreciate it

The letters Whitebird00 gives above should be embossed in the connector body.

Soldering two wires together on a car is potentially dangerous, so you'll want to crimp the wire that's left on the terminal to your loose end.

Yes im sorry your right last thing i need is a fire.. so grey wire would be connected to terminal "E" on switch and the tan wire would obviously be the last one thats availble right? Im I understanding this correctly guys? Thanks again for all the help, you guys rock!

Yes. Whitebird00 pointed out that tan is "C", above.

Thank you to anyone who replied and helped me out on this one.. I reconnected those two wires with connecters (not Solder) and it is working, but I will add the fact that I do indeed need a new switch as its seen better days.. and I also need to invest in getting a new power window motor for the passenger side because that one does not work at all. other than that things are looking up and I thank each and everyone of you who replied. Thank you
