Your message was hard to read, it makes it easier to understand with less abbreviations. Anyhow what voltages are you getting at the switch? When you cut the wiring harness and reconnected the wires, did you use wire caps to put the wires back together or did you solder them back together. I am wondering if one of the ground wires might be loose or disconnected.

Also did you say the window wouldn't budge manually? I would try to find what is binding the glass first. Sorry about all the questions back, but I ran into this same exat issue on my '98 and after taking all my voltages from the fuse box to the switch I was able to trouble shoot that it was my regulator in the power window motor causing the issue.
