Diagnostic time!!!! Ide grab a multimeter or test light at least... And start tracing power to the switch, then see if it passes the switch. You can always run a hot wire to the motor and see if she runs...

 

^^^ Bypass the switch to power motor is a good way to test the motor, be carfull and apply power to the correct wire. I would lean towards the motor or loose connection before switch as you said when you hit the switch you hear a click. That click means the switch is doing something.

 

I like his faulty connection issue being that this was intermittently solved with banging on it...

Failling window motors can also start working by banging on them. It's similar to beating on a starter that's stuck.

 

Lol k now i like that idea too...

 

yeah id bet its a bad connection or failing motor. found out previous owner of my truck has had 2 replaced. at least with an 09 youre less at risk to have your power locks fail. I have one that's not working and one thats intermittent, and its only a $280 fix each!

 

Thanks guys. Found a new window motor on Ebay for about $140... sound about right?

 

+1 on using a test light... that would take about 3 minutes to check first... Pop off the switch and stick the test light right in the terminals on the back of the switch to bypass it...
