It's most likely either the switch or the motor that is bad. The switch is cheaper... See if a service center at a dealership can hook up an OBD computer to your car to test the switch. If not, you have to start replacing parts and see which is bad. See if a salvage yard near you has these parts - it will save you a lot of cash.
