Default PDL wiring request

When I got my '80, the harnesses for the power door locks were corroded as hell. Three of the five wires had already broken free on each side before I knew which location they should be attached at. I purchased the new harnesses from a vendor, but they pose a new problem. Every single wire is a different color than the factory wiring harness. Several months back, 80TexasC3 was kind enough to send me a picture of his wiring harness so I could try to fix my problem. I will finally be getting around to working on it, but need a similar picture of the passenger side.

I have the schematic for my car as well as the assembly manual plus a chilton's manual. While I know what wires attach to the harness, I don't have a single reference to the physical location of the colored wires.

I would really appreciate a detailed description or photo that anyone can offer.

Try this site, look under the door section. It has the scematic and the color code and where it all hooks up

Thanks EDDIEJ82, but those are only schematics. Although that shows all the wires coming into the switch, they do not represent the physical location of the wires within the harness.

Does anyone with a 78-82 with pdl have the door panels off, or plan on taking them off anytime soon? If so, please let me know. A picture or a detailed description would be darn near pricless right now.
