Is there a diagram anywhere for the single-gang power window switch showing the 5 pins and which ones should be connected when the switch is in the up and center and down positions?
Electrical diagram for single-gang power window switch?

On pin is the ground (in left kick panel)
Two wires go to the driver door (Positive)
Two wires go to the motor (Negative/Positive, alternately (up/down))
You need a wiring diagram in front of you to fully understand it.
Driver door switch needs to be in place for the others to work.

I figured it out.
1 - 2
- 3 -
4 - 5
With the switch in the center position, pins 1 and 4 are connected, and pins 2 and 5 are connected. Pin 3 is isolated, not connected to anything.
With the switch in position "A", pin 3 is connected to either 1 or 4. Pins 2 and 5 are connected.
With the switch in position "B", pin 3 is connected to either 5 or 2. Pins 1 and 4 are connected.
Position A and B are Up and Down. Or Down and Up.
+12 volts is connected to pin 3. Two of the opposite diagonals (either 1 and 5 or 2 and 4) are connected to ground (or should be, through the master driver's switch). The alternate diagonal pair goes to the motor.

IIRC, you have a '65 or '66. Correct?
There is a diagram of the front "master" switch starting in 1968 FSM but nothing that I've found in the '65 or '66.
I'm fairly sure the switches are wired the same, although the appearance changed. The master switch is just 4 switches tied together with a bus for power. So if you look at the master switch diagram in the '68 FSM, you can figure that out (and I see you have while I typed LOL).

That trips a lot of people up when diagnosing problems.
I just wanted to test for the correct electrical operation of a single-gang switch that is in my hands. I happen to have a disassembled example so I could actually see the internal contact arrangement.
I drew a theoretical circuit diagram on paper and then looked up the actual schematic in the '67 Polara/Monaco manual (section 23-20 Body and Frame, Fig. 38, page 492 of the PDF file). My theoretical diagram agreed with the actual schematic. Three wires go back from each single-gang switch to the master switch (well, technically 2 wires go to the master switch, the 3'rd goes to a +12V feed point).
I had added power windows to my car (back in '87) so I never had the original wiring, but I did have all required connectors for all switches. But there's something about the rear switches that I didn't get right. Working on that now.
