Default 82 window switch connector

my passenger window quit working and I found one wire pulled out of the connector. I ordered a replacement and spiced it in then the problem....without thinking I didn't look for the orientation of the connector. Does anyone know which direction the wires should point when the connector is installed. Just guessing the with 3 pins there might be more than one. I had it installed and the window worked but one of the spices pulled loose when I stowed them so I corrected. now the connector does not appear to be fully seated and rather continue I thought I would check and see if someone has been there. being cautious at this point...thanks and I look forward to what you folks think.

If I recall correctly, it will only plug up one way. You can inadvertently mix left and right switches, and you can inadvertently mount a switch upside down.

the switch wasn't changed just the connector. I'll recheck all the wiring and make sure the connector is fully engaged. thanks for the feedback.
