Default window problems again

Ooooooooooook... so posted this question before but now I've replaced some stuff and ready to ask advice again... cause it's driving me up a wall. Have a 94 auto. Passenger side window goes down using mine or passenger switch but wont go up. So far have replaced window motor and passenger door switch. Now, the passenger switch has set of wires coming from my door and power source into it, and one set of wires going into motor. By replacing switch all incoming and outgoing wires were replaced. When i replace the motor the other half of the wires coming from the switch to the motor were replace. So unless im dumb, all wires have been replaced. Also, attached car battery cables to battery and small wires hooked up to motor(know thats a really bad painted picture) to give manual joice from a car battery to the window motor and it goes up and down. Any ideas as to whats left i can do?

Is the motor powering at all on the upstroke? I had a problem where the door panel weatherstrip was too tight against the window and would not allow the motor to travel to the up position (down no proble,). Also loosen the two window felts a bit they may be binding the window. Just some ideas

Default No Problem!

Had same problem but i never replaced anything.I JUST GRAB THE WINDOW AND UP IT COMES.These C4 are nightmares always a glitch to ruin your day. I remember jumping in my GTO and burning ruber, racing on the street with no problems. And you wonder why GM is faultering. I would be out of business if i produce crap like this and parts you better stock up . Who is to blame not the guys building these cars it is the bean counters Thats why that Opti spark is not vented they eliminated the venting to save a few bucks per car.Guess what? They did not get the last 100,000.00 i spent on vehicles. SAVE THE WAVE but wait i might be flagging you down for a ride!

Sure, stop by the house any time and we can spend about 6 hours looking for the problem. I've got 30 years as a electrical trouble shooter, it should be a piece of cake. It took me 30 hours to get the bugs out of my car.
