What would cause the drivers side power window on a 1996 Ford Contour to go down when either the up or down switch is pressed?

I had this problem, spent a fortune on new regulators and even a motor before I realized that the problem was in the switch. For some reason, the switch (only the driver's side front window) would make the window go down when pressed up or down, and when you try to make it go up, nothing but a "clicking" sound.
Apparently, the problem is some kind of alignment in the switch. I am not a mecahnic, but I found that if I carefully hammered the switch down along the edge from top to bottom, it would eventually "catch" and then would work properly again. Eventually, the condition would re-occur, and I would do it again. Sometimes it worked for a few days, sometimes for a few months. So there is definitely a problem in the switch. Don't pay for new regulators, motors, or other parts for this problem. Apparenlty, the techs do not know about this condition. If you do go for repair, carefully explain the problem and what I told you above, otherwise they think the problem is with the hardware inside the door. Or try my method, which solves the problem, but not if you are anal about the cosmetics inside the car.
