White will be the child lock 100%. It should all plug in. But as per the diagram blue on the motor/green on the switch is up. Yellow on the motor/blue on the switch is down. I think this is what your asking?

Yeah that all makes sense. The back power windows have 3 wires each from the plug that goes through the centre piller. They are white with black stripe, blue with yellow stripe and green with yellow stripe. I just need to know what wire colours are what for the front switches now as there are 6 different wires and 7 on the block with child lock. I also want to know how many amp fuse i should use for the power wire as i tried wiring it yesterday and the wire got too hot amd started smoking :s. Thanks soo much for all your help so far by the way

20 amp fuse is what they normally have.
With the wires im not to sure.
One will be earth, one will be power to the regulator and one will be for.the little light. Thats my guess anyway.
Check it with a circuit tester.

They run a 30amp circuit breaker (fuses tend to blow easy). Wire to suit 30amps + would be best.

Yes. You will blow fuses when using the auto down feature or holding the up button when it gets to the top. It can also back feed to the rest of the car. I had this happen to me before working out it needed the circuit breaker.
