the window finally started working again, i just put the door panel back on then went for a drive then i tried to lower the window and it now works, but it goes very slowly up. but when i made the window go up with battery power and wires, the window went up normally as its supposed to. you guys think the switches are shot or there is resistance in them

i think the power of the spare battery i used to move the window up and down gave extra juice so it overcame the resistance of the tracks and went up fast.

dirty and bent contacts, the corrosion will cause the switch to not transfer all of the energy needed to roll the window up or down(resistence) look up
4crawler headlight combo switch cleaning and do the same thing they are almost the identical contacts even if they dont look dirty do this it will help.
