Default DS Window Switch Not Working?

My DS window switch has quit working. All the other switches like PS, door locks, mirrors and memory all work. Today I tried a new switch pad and door control module and neither fixed the problem. I'm getting no DTC codes from the PCM either. Anyone else run into this before?

Could be the power window regulator.

Look between the door and the body and you will see a black rubber accordion tube. Inside that tube are TWO wiring harnesses. Grab the rubber tube so that you can feel the harnesses between your fingers. While your depressing the window switch, shake the crap out of those wiring harnesses! Let me know what happens!!

I bet you that your problem will be resolved (temporarily)

Bill,

I tried to shake the crap out of the harness while operating the switch but saw no change. I'm leaning towards the window regulator as others have seen that to be the problem with similiar symptoms. Do you have any other thoughts?
