You can determine which wires to use fairly easily.  Short one
pair at a time while someone is watching the touchpad.  When the
ready light comes on, that's the pair leading back to the panel.

Leave that pair shorted and check all other windows to make sure
they are functional.  If not, connect the other pair in series
with the first and recheck.
