Hi:
Which switch did you replace? Also, when you said switch replacement did you do the drivers side master switch?

Hi:
Wow. You replaced both switches and the motor and it still doesn't work? You have me stumped. If you are getting power to the motor (both ways) it should work. For the heck of it, try to run a ground strap from the motor to the door. Also, If you run 12 volts to the motor for a separate power supply like an extra battery, does the motor react?

Let me know. I love the challenge of an electrical problem.
