I Read This Thread And It Helped Me Out Tremendously. I Was Getting Sick Of Rolling Down Everyones Window. I Used The Paper Chip As A Tester First, Then Butt Connected The Wires, Just To Be Safe. Thanks

ok just to clarify
If I jump the yellow with the tan this will resolve my issue, I have first taken my original controller apart (RPITA
by the way to get apart {even more PITA to get back together and have the mirror control in tact
}) then went and bought 4 drivers side controllers from the junk yard and none of them have resolved my issue, I have spent 65.00 on parts and a .10 connector could have fixed my problem.
LOL
What exactly has gone faulty here or does anyone really know??
I assumed
the drivers side controller but maybe I am thinking wrong here, didnt think the odds of picking up 4 from my LJY would all have the same problem without some sort of recall from back in the day on these things.

For those who do not like the paper clip idea, try a tap splice like the one in the link below, you will have to clean out a bit of plastic for both wires to fit but once you do that you can slide both wires in, press the blade in and then close the cover. No exposed wires. If you ever want to remove it you just grab the blade with a pair of needle nose, pull, remove the plastic piece and rap some tape around the very small slice in the insulation of both wires.
This is kind of like the photo above, just with one splice after cleaning out the plastic bulkhead that prevents two complete wires to pass through.
Amazon.com: Quick Splice Wire Tap Connector 16-14 Gauge (Blue) - 100 Pack: Automotive
Most of you have probably seen these with trailer wiring, or stereos.
EDIT: I just did the above, all the windows work now, even the 4 year old's. He is pretty good about listening though so it won't be a problem. Thanks for the quick tip.

Check out my albums and you'll see me fixing this same problem.
Works great now. Wife doesn't have to ask anymore. It's a two door so the passengers in the back are SOL

i went out and did this today. i just spliced all the wires together and wrapped them up. i feel thats better than just a paper clip sitting in there.
