If it is a factory fit then in the wiring harness there will be wires
that run from the drivers side to the passenger side that splice into
the up/down wires. If they are aftermarket it may not be connected at
all(seems that way by the wiring you suggested), but if it is there will
be a splice into the up/down wires somewhere along the line. The extra
blue wire is most likely meant to be hooked up to the dash light circuit
to make the switch light up.
FYI the switches work by earthing out both up/down wires then when you
push the switch it disconnects the earth from one wire and connects it
to power. In a master-slave situation the slave switch up/down wires are
earthed back to the master switch so that when the master switch is
working it sends the power through the slave switch then to the motor.
