Testing the plug itself according to the info supplied by hookedon210s was the next stage and I have a question here. I get 12v at pins 1-3 and 1-5 when activating the switch in one direction only. (i.e.- going left 12v, going right - nothing. reversing the polarity on the meter does not effect that at all. same result when going up/down- one direction only) is this correct or is the switch bad ?
I next removed the glass assembly of the mirror and stared at the motors - It looks a lot darker in that dungeon than the photos indicate !!!. I will wait for help regarding my "switch" question, before tearing into the motors and really messing up.....

Not wanting to hijack everyone's help here but have you checked that the power plug is attached to the console switch itself? If you or a PO has had the console apart, chances are the plug was not seated on reassembly and has dropped from everyday driving vibs.
To access, remove ashtray bin revealing two screws. Remove screws and lift ashtray assembly out just enough to unplug ashtray power plugs.
Remove coin tray. Pry carefully. Now push console wood forward to unlock securing tabs. You should now be able to raise the rear of the console wood enough to check switch plug.
While you are at it, and if you feel confident enough, remove all the window switches. Good time to clean the insides. Looking on the sides of the switch body at the point where the switch rocks back and forth you will see the locking pins. Slip a letter opener or some other very thin tool between the rocker switch and the locking tab. This will unlock one side. Do the other side. Carefully lift the rocker switch. There will be small springs inside. Note their location. What you will see inside may shock you. I have wondered how some of my switches every worked at all.
