Power Window Issue

I am having an issue with the right rear power window on my 1967 442. The button below the window will lower the window but will not raise it. The master switch on the drivers door will raise the right rear window but will not lower it. The rest of the windows operate properly. This is a sudden, new problem. I have both the shop manual and the assembly manual, however, neither one references power windows. Particularly frustrating is the lack of a wiring diagram for the power window circuit.
Any help/suggestions, especially are correct wiring diagram of the power window circuit, are greatly appreciated.

I believe the window circuit wiring is in the body manual. At least for 1965 it is.

Power Window Electrical Circuit

I do not have the Body Manual for this car. If someone might be willing to scan a copy and send it to my email, I would be very grateful.

It's always best to start by diagnosing a problem as best you can before touching any parts, but... if I had to do something right now, I would bet that the switches are dirty.
I had a '70 Cadillac that had 3 switches that I had to take apart and clean.
If they,re a similar design (cast metal body crimped over a circuit board) they can be pried open to clean the contacts with some emery cloth. Re-assemble and CAREFULLY re-crimp the case.
Worked for me and certainly worth a try if the switches are found to be the problem.
