So I finally had a chance to work on the garage opener and window switch. I soldered as mentioned below with the COMMON going to 4th smaller hole on the board and then each SWITCH to the top part of the contacts. Nothing happened.
I then looked at the 2 contacts that Particlewave suggested and those Contcts worked with one of the doors, however it was the door my wife uses

. So next task was to figure which hole on the board was for the other door...my door! After about 10 minutes and testing the remaining holes on the board, I was finally able to find the hole(contact) that controlled my door. I soldered it up and was able to get both doors working with the points noted. No pics of the soldered board as I immediately tape wires and placed back in the car.
Thanks for all the help Meir and Particlewave.
