Default Console switches S2 to S3

My Series 2 console was very bad. I got a Series 3 one peace console but found out that the switches are different to the series 2 switches. I like to buy series 3 switches. My question is, is there a template to what wires goes to which terminal on the S3 switches?

I can answer with a question: how do the wires connect to the switches in the
Series 2 ? Do they connect with a plug? or do they connect individually?

can you post pictures of the original Series 2 connectors or wiring?

I could expect that there is a plug with 6 terminals. But a plug also has wires on them. So a plug with 6 terminals and wires can be changed to the Series 2. My question is, which terminal on the series 3 switch goos to which of the series 2 wire.

that's why a picture of the Series 2 wires and plugs would resolve the question, to see if the wire colors and plugs match the Series 3 wire colors and plugs. I have switches but not the plugs.

Default Series 2 window Switches vs. Series 3


Series 2 Window Switch



Series 3 Window Switch


Besides having different connection styles, Series 3 switches are just enough smaller they won't fit into Series 2 console.

For wiring diagram of Series 2 window switches, look here:

I just looked at my REAR window switches and plugs and there are only 5 wires per switch.

That is funny. On all my switches there are 6 wires. As i see the back of the S2 switch i see top right, middle and bottom left and that 2 times. I'm assuming that on the S2, top right is top right, top left on S3 is middle on S 2 and bottom is bottom, and that 2 times?
Looks easier than i thought. and yes, Because the S3 switches are smaller than the S2 switches is the reason for my question as i'm putting a S3 console in my S2.
