[V8] Window problems

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Ohh sorry forgot to mention. If you go to drivers side test the wires
with a multimeter there and get voltage on both sides then more than
likely its the switch. You can take it apart and clean the contacts I
used a strait edge razor. You can try this as well be careful when
opening the switch not to break the housing though use small screwdriver
or something.

Thanks,
