Default window problems

The passenger window was going up and down kind of slow and eventually would quit working on occassion. When it would stop, I could hit a pothole or slam the door or jiggle the conduit going between the door and cab; and it would work again. It became more and more consistant, not working. The other day it completely stopped.

My dad suspected the problem before he shipped it here and he replaced the motor so it's not the motor. My guess is a loose connection somewhere because it would work sometimes. I pull the panel off and checked the quick disconnect to see if anything was loose and it looked good.

Can I throw a meter and see if it has continuity? Or do I need to just trace the wiring all the way back behind the dash and keep looking for loose connections. I don't even know where to start. Any help?

What works for me is to hold the switch while you move the wires around.

Yeah but it's on the passenger side and I'm not going to do that everytime i want the window down. I want to fix it.
