car is an 89. ive replaced both my window motors. was driving home last night and my drivers side window wouldnt go up. ( passenger side rolled up and down fine) got home, pulled the switch apart and cleaned it. put it back together, got the window up. my question is, was this caused by the switch just being old? or is there something else i should be checking before i replace the switches?

thanks
J

Could be a broken wire in the wiring harness going to the door in the door jamb, lots of flexing of the door opening over time can cause the wires to break.
