Default Corvette C5 window wont roll up.


my new Corvette.
Hello friends, how are you? I'm telling you that my driver's side window goes down but doesn't go up. Visually everything is in order, cables and mechanisms. I put 12 V power directly to the motor and the window went up. then it means that the master window swicht is the problem.

Most likely the switch, many a window problem is a result of dirty,pitted contacts within the switch itself.
