carefully soak all of the switches with contact cleaner
(out of their sockets so that you can shake the switch and
get the solvent swirled around inside. Allow to dry
thoroughly.
Then go after the connectors at the motor in the door.
Make certain that the grounding strap that also holds the
motor in is scuffed shiny on the inside where it touches
the power window motor body that you just scuffed with
steel wool to ensure that you have a good ground.
The motor may be stiff. Disconnect from the window
mechanism, touch it to the metal of the door somewhere that
you get a good ground and hit the juice. It should operate
feely in both directions.
After all of this, clean all of the window mechanisms with
evaproating degreaser or take out and use real grease
cutter and then lubricate once the degrease has evaporated,
not before.
Electrical motors and connections in these cars tend to get
stale after 30 years.
