Default [electrical] Switch issues: '88 Vert

Could intermittant failure to raise driver's side window after it's down and intermittant failure to release tonneau hatch from driver's side door switch (only that side) be related to wiring inside the door? All suggestions welcomed.

My experiences with window problems, I look at the switches first for problems.

Its usually the switches, the sides of the lever cracking. But, the wires that go into the door get flexed everytime you open and close the door and they can't do that forever. Also, the hatch switch from little use has to be pushed on a number of time before it works in my experience.
