Mirror wiring. Help! Did something stupid! (archive)

I changed out the driver's door handle assembly on my 90 750 due to a broken bracket that is part of the unit. After putting all back together but prior to putting on the door panel, I decided to test all prior buttoning it up, to avoid taking it apart again. I lowered the window, watched the guide to verify that it was properly installed, and (opps!!) I heard a slight thump type noise. The rail that I was watching was installed fine, but the connector for the mirror controls got caught in the mechanism on the other side and was hung up there. To get it out of the mechanism, I had to blindly pull the wires out of the connector and slowly pull each wire back through the mechanism. I now do not know which wire goes where. The connector is slightly damaged, but looks to be reusable. Amazingly, none of the wires are damaged.

There are four wires and they are: black/light blue; black/brown; black/gray; and orange/light brown. The switch has four terminals numbered 2,3,4 and 5. Can anyone tell me which wires connect to which terminals so I can put them back in the connector and hook it up? TIA
