Often times its neither the switch nor the motor. Its the window motor cable that needs replacing. Thats the one part that flex's every time you open and close the door. After 20+ years of opening and closing the door the wires inside will crack, stretch, and come apart not allowing the window motor to work.

The local indy explained thats why he always tells his customers that come with a non-op window to replace the cable instead of dishing out $$$ on window switches and window motors when it often times is the cable.
