Default Window switch pinouts

Long story short is I'm attempting to put a C7 interior into a C3. I have the door panels with all the switches, modules, etc. I have the door release button wired and working fine, started (bench testing) on the window buttons and ran into a dead end.

I have the positive (4) and negative (1) wired as well as the driver's up (6) and down (3). Those are working fine. The problem is the passenger's button (on the driver's side). There are two more pins - 2 and 6, neither of which operate through the passenger's button.

The #2 pin (greeen/violet) when wired to the relay will activate the motor when the DRIVER'S button is pushed up OR down. The #6 pin (green/white) does nothing when wired through the relay, but shows 9.9 volts on my multimeter on the end of the wire.

I'm confused as hell right now. I assumed the remaining two wires off the switch would be the up/down of the passenger's switch, it's apparently much more complicated than that. I completely understand I'm a total idiot when it comes to modern wiring. I even went to pull the window switch out of the passenger's panel thinking I may have to wire it in to complete a circuit or link, and found out there are 14 wires coming from that single switch.

I finally gave up and decided to ask for help from someone who knows better. Sorry for the long post. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

I will check ALLDATA for you tomorrow and see what they have for a print out......could it possibly be redundant wiring for 'verts for automatic roll down for both D and P side windows when top down is activated?

Thank you! I didn't think alldata had the 2014 yet? The door panels are out of a coupe, so I'm not sure that would be it, but I already stated I'm a complete idiot when it comes to modern wiring.

Must be a heavily guarded secret.

Thanks Monk. I'll set it aside until next week, not like I don't have anything else to do on the car.

And now I can't get the damn door lock switch figured out.

Can anyone point me to someplace I can get simple wiring schematics? I don't understand why those are not available anywhere. I realize it's an unusual request, being a new vehicle, but they have to be available somewhere, no?

I even went to pay for Alldata but they don't have the 2014 Corvette available for the DIY option, only the Fiat and Smart.

Frustrated.

I just sent you a PM. Here is the link I was talking about. Get ahold of the OP in this thread, he may be able to help. Good luck with a project that sounds like fun.
