rear window regulator mystery

Yesterday, I replaced my right hand rear 1/4 window regulator. The glass was in the up position. After reconnecting the ground to the battery the window automatically went down. I suspect that was the right thing for it to do since the other window was down, as was the top. I went to close the top and here is what happened.. The top went up, but the latch did not close, therefor the windows did not go up. I opened the valve on the hydraulic pump and manually locked the latch using the allen key in the slot above the mirror. Sounds like a limit switch is not working. I also noticed 2 wires near the right hand hydraulic cylinder, very small gage wire maybe 22 or 24 ga. with a rubber connector on the end . One is by the bottom end of the cylinder, the other near the top, inside the rubber connector, there looks to be a brass screw head, with the screw part sheared off. could these be the limit switches?? I attached a pic. HELP !!!!
