If you have a scematic then there is some hope. You should be able to see if a relay is involved or not.
Peter is correct. You should measure the voltage at the switch:
First, put the red lead of the meter on the incoming power contact of the switch and put the black lead on a known good ground. Measure the voltage with the switch off. It should be at least above 12V. (It should be whatever the battery voltage reads).
Now push the switch and see if the voltage drops and how much. Normally it shouldn't drop much. maybe 1/2 volt. If you see a larger drop then you need to trace the path from the battery, through the fuse, connectors, relay if any, etc. If the voltage doesn't drop then you need to look at the ground side of the circuit. If I had the schematic I could hopefully give better advice. I remember on my 86 Supra, the passenger window had a switch on both doors so the driver could control it also. And the switches were wired together in kind of an odd way. I had to study the schematic a while to figure it out. In that case the swicth on the drivers door needed repair.
