Good idea. I just tried boosting the window while depressing the pax switch
-  no movement at all. I can feel the motor chuk chuk ing when i switch the
switch. It's almost as if it's not getting enough current. Like it's getting
a signal but not enough juice ot actually operate the motor. Or, it's just a
dead motor. Is there a relay involved in this circuit?
