That car is in the junkyard. However I kept all the switches and will be installing it in my new 1990 240. I'll try to describe it in more detail.
I ran 2 wires from each power window motor to the center of the car then ran them back in to the center console. Then I ran a ground from the stereo and power from the stereo to the switch. The type of switch I had was pretty simple, I got it from radio shack. When I threw it one way power went through to the one window wire and ground to the other which caused it to go up for example. Then the other way I set ground to the other wire on the window and power on the other. I'll show you more in detail when I get back in the states but I had 3 switches running, one for one side, one for the other and a third for both at the same time.
