Exclamation power locks

Hey everyone, i bought a lancer DE which came with nothing such as A/C or power locks. I opened the drivers side door panel and found out that the actuators were built into the latch and the wiring was all there. the only thing was the switch. so i managed to get a switch but the new switch is from an 09 lancer gts and wont fit the connector that came with the 08 lancer DE door wire harness. i went to the dealership, only thing is its kind of expensive. I plan on sodering the wires directly to the pin. but i dont know what each pin is for. if anyone could help/ give me advice on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. the part number for the door switch is 8608A068.

the problem is the control from an ES, GTS, Evo, etc. doesn't fit the plug from the DE. so adding the switch wouldn't work as the whole control is one piece. it includes the window control and mirror controls

i actually did some research on it and it seems that the old control unit from the older lancers seems to have the same pin connector. not sure though still looking around.
