Power Window Issue

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.

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.
