Glad I didn’t investigate too deeply earlier. That would have been a pain to try to change.

Caveat emptor!
That's a pain in the undercarriage!

Trouble is, if you reverse the connections at the switch to correct the up/down, you'll also reverse the polarity of the centre connection so the left/right either won't work or will be reversed.

I'm guessing you've fitted the motor now so unless you're prepared to pull it out, you'll have to live with it. However, if you were to cut the connection between the middle contact and the left hand pin on the motor (as viewed in your pic), desoler the right hand connection and move it to the left, use the little piece of connector from the left hand and a piece of insulated wire to link it (now on the right hand motor connection) to the centre connector, that should (in theory from what i can see) fix things.
