What is it that usually goes wrong

I hate to bump this up but does anyone have any thoughts or experiences that they would like to share before I tear into this.

Are you saying your test light is in series with the connector and is always lit up? If so disconnect the actuator switch and see what happens. Check the switch once it's disconnected by checking continuity.

My results were, that I never really fixed the problem. It just sort of fixed itself. I guess you can try this method, but it's unlikely you have the same problem I had. I got ****** off that I couldn't figure it out and I started flicking the switch up and down, angrily. And for some reason, the passenger side started working, and has worked ever since. LOL. Of course, you may have already done this. My buddy refers to this as the "Kick and curse" method. Sounds like a pretty stupid method, but you wouldn't believe the amount of times that it has worked for me.   I wouldn't recommend it, though. Didn't fix the whole problem, however. My switch is still reversed, for some reason. When you flick it up, it locks the drivers side, and unlocks the passenger side. And vise versa.

Yo skunk Smash did you put the wire plug on the back of the switch upside down or flip it around or somthing??  Hey also i want to ask you does your lock actuator bolt through the same hole that the bottom window channel bolt does?

It sounds like the switch is in the door panel upside down.

  Like Vile said. start with tracing the problem from the source.  If you just slow down and think about it in a step by step process, instead of one big problem, you will find that you can trace it through the operations and voltage flow until you find out what is causing it.  I always look at my problems and find out if it is mechanical or electrical and go from there.
