OK, that could be a self-resetting circuit breaker. If you leave the switch on with the motor is stalled and drawing too much current, the breaker trips before it does something drastic like melt or catch fire. The second click would be the thermal element in the breaker re-setting so the motor can again work, without requiring you to remove the door panel to reset it...

In any case, it is not a full-down or full-up switch, it's there to protect the motor from meltdown...

Best Regards,
