Default power window problem

Just wanted to give a heads up:
I thought I had a bad motor on the passenger side. Upon taking the door apart, I constantly tested the power window switch and kept hearing a relay (or clicking) down at the window motor. So I knew the switch was good. There is a two prong connector that connects the wiring harness to the motor. As it turns out, I had a bad connection right there and it wasn't the motor afterall. For y'all that are hearing the same thing, you may want to at least check this before removing the motor.

Yep, it was the pass. side and I heard the click whether I tried the driver's or pass. side swich. So Iknew the switches were good. As soon as I jiggled the connector, the window worked fine. It started as intermittent and then eventually stopped altogether.

Replace the motor. I've replaced because the motors are in the door and can get wet which leads to rust.
