Power windows, no logical explanation

But from the switch to the driver side, there is the black/blue wire. This is 12V right? And if I get 0V on it now, but get 12V on it when I disconnect the motor (theoretical question, the same thing that happened to another guy in here), what does this tell you?
And the motor works btw. (to the question I asked in this post)

A voltage drop would explain your theoretical and the drop would be caused by a faulty connection or a damaged component.

A voltage drop of 12V, isn't that pretty severe? I mean, that should be like.. Somewhere in my dash the wires are welding almost.
Anyways. How can I test the wires, without it being a motor (got an old Kyosho RC motor tho, but one of the wires are ripped off, need to solder it). A small lightbulb should be perfect, aight? If I get no light, there is something VERY wrong here.. The wires can't be that screwed, so they can't transfer 5W 12V thru them (dunno amps, don't wanna refresh my electrician skills :P )

Now are talking 10s of small wires together. Two of them can easily hold enough to get the motor spinning. How I can say that? I had two 0.7mm wires from the PSU to the motor. Yes, they were hot, and yes, it worked fine.
I didn't say anything about a fire in the car, did I? :P I don't want that. But you get the point
The wires are welding something in there (sparks) somewhere if they are so far away from eachother and thin that they can't deliver enough to the motor.

I tried when I got somewhere dark to try (garage), and the lights dimmed when I tried to press the passenger side switch. So something is happening, maybe the wires from the motor to the window is stuck or need some grease?

Update: Weird. Now it worked suddenly. Sometimes. But it was slooow, think the wires need some grease maybe. How do I get the wires off from the window? Can't find any logical solution to that either :P
