Re: Power Window losing its Mojo & Posstibly trying to Sever my Fingers

Oops, I completely forgot to respond about the "killer" window part.

It could be the driver's door switch assembly, but it is more likely to be the wiring harness that goes through the door to the body. Over time and many, many door openings and closings, the section of the harness that is at the hinge points becomes fatigued and the wires start to break inside. You'll get intermittent contact or maybe even cross-contact. If you operate the window and move the door at the same time, you might get it to work...sometimes rolling that section of the harness between your fingers helps, too.
