see that is the thing ya can't really put the switch in backwards. It sounds like the have the wires going to the motor itself mixed up, the switch is NOT just a simple single pull-single throw switch it is a 5 wire reversing polarity system switch. Your not going to find 2 wires on the back but 5.....

All I know is they said they could remedy it, so I said “great, do it”! We’ll see…

you might mention it to them. As much as you depend on them for electronics, the worst electronics errors I have seen done were by mechanics that just did not completely understand. Swapping wires on the switch would not be nearly as easy as swapping the wires to the motor. I am still curious how a shop installed it and never noticed?

Done! Got the car back and aside from the door hinges everything is done and working correctly:
1. They corrected the window regulator wiring so the switch on the driver side functions as it should.
2. They dropped the tank and found that one of the wires to the fuel pump had come off probably due to the twisting and finagling necessary to get the darn thing back in there.
3. Repaired the wiper fluid line where a rat had eaten through.
4. Filled 2 holes on trunk lid, sealed and resprayed, which I will rewax next wash (new DA polisher)
Unfortunately, they are just too busy to do the door hinges right now, so that’ll wait till another time, as will the power seat track. Meantime, I’ll put in the seat track extensions when the new driver seat (Sparco GT) arrives.
Can’t believe this thread went 6 pages! But I want to thank everyone for sticking with me through it and for all the help, feedback and input throughout. REALLY APPRECIATE IT !!
P.S.- if anyone can use the Walbro 225 let me know ;-)
