I assume you are talking about rocking the switch and not the motor
itself.

If swapping switches doesn't change anything then your problem is probably
in the door or the connection in the roof like Rob suggested.  I think it
is
most likely that the problem is in the door.

The window motor should have two wires going to it.  These wires terminate
in 1/4" female spade lug terminals.  The corresponding male spade lugs on
both the OEM and Electric Life motors use 3/16" spade lugs, so the fit is
always loose and never perfect.  Try reaching your hand in there and
jiggle
the wires.  The location is very hard to reach.  Also try hooking a test
light or meter across these wires to see if you get 12V.  If you do then
you
know the problem is in the motor.  If not then start looking under the
T-panel.

I had an Electric Life window motor go bad because the installer forgot to
remove the appropriate weather proofing/drain plugs in it.  They are tiny
plastic caps that plug holes in the motor housing.  The one on top should
be
left in place to keep water out.  The one on the bottom should be removed
to
let water out that may get in anyway.  Mine filled with water and rusted
up.
Rob sold me a new motor instead of having to buy the whole assembly.

I suppose your next question is how to remove the door panel? ;-)
