    book doesn't show much. blue/tan going to the switch to the motor and back out. Not sure if it's a 12v motor or not. I would look at the passenger side and measure the voltage as you drive it up and down. But that sounds like too much work if your going to get a switch tomorrow.

    A solution to the problem...

    So, I couldn't get the window to roll up by crossing wires. I couldnt even get it to work by using other switches. The main switch has all 8 pins. All the others, even the rears, have some variation, 3-5, but not all 8.

    By now the window was all the way down, and its supposed to be in the 40's when I go to work tomorrow (i know thats a balmy 40 for some of you...). What I did was take apart the controls completely to see what was actually the issue. turns out that the connection was worn, part of the paddle had actually worn off so it was further from the pin. Soon as I pressed with my hand, it worked. Now, this just solved the issue, not the problem. Since I am never in the back rolling the windows up or down, I decided to take apart one of those and swap out the paddles. Now I know the pics arent best quality, but you should be able to tell what I did. I know, cell phone pics suck close up. I suggest anyone else check this prior to going to the stealership and droppin $75.

    Thanks cowboy for brainstorming w/ me. And you were right, usin the meter while tryin to roll it up was stupid difficult. needed atleast a 3rd arm. haha.

    Keep playing with it and it might go up.
    I was having some issues with my driver's side front window switch and now its fine. I didnt take it apart and somehow it fixed itself.
