oh yeah, forgot to add something:
I believe it does need to be a complete circuit to open/close the windows. I took out my motor, and i could only get it to run if both switches were hooked up
sorry man

yes it is. take out the switch. take it apart and clean the contacts with sandpaper or scrape that stuff off with an exacto knife. and it should work. I've fixed several switches that way. and they've all lasted.

jump the motor from the battery and just leave it up till the switch comes in its on;y two wires put it one way the window goes down, put it the other and it will go back up (unless the motor is bad)
