My 69 does the exact same thing. I know it has a
multiplex unit, but don't think that is why. I had another 69 in 1972 & as I
recall, the fader worked in the traditional way. Not
from opposite corners.
Dick B. seems to have a lot of
knowledge on these.

wiring
Any chance you hooked up the wires at your new connector
backwards (in other
words, swapped the left and right rear speaker leads)?
Seems like the easy
place to fix 'em, too, rather than rewiring under the
rear shelf. Just a
thought...
