Quick window switch plug question

Quick question...

How many contact points are there supposed to be in the plug for the left rear window switch in the center console?

As my car sits, I've got 4 contact points on the switches for each plug, but on the left rear plug, there are only 3 contact points.

I'm wondering if there's supposed to be a 4th one that's missing, and maybe that's why my instrument lights aren't working...? The corresponding terminal on the switch is #4.

A fast response would be greatly appreciated, as I've only got another hour to try and fix this before I have to leave for the evening...

Thanks!

I guess I didn't say what I meant...sorry about that.

The switch is fine, best I can tell. All the terminals that are supposed to be on the switch are there.

It's the plug that plugs into the rear part of the switch that appears to be missing Terminal #4. I can't find any trace of a wire to even suggest that it ever existed...hence my question.
