The switches are interconnected on both sides. a fault on either side will fault the whole circuit. They also can fault open or short, if short they will still produce a current draw but the motor will not operate... I have a whole drawer full of dead switches, some of which look just fine.
it's the lowest hanging fruit, just saying...

^^ True. Neither side worked for me until I swapped out all 3 switches (two on drivers side one on passenger side); never did figure out which one was bad, but ended up tossing all three for good measure.

Today another 10 cycles, not stuck.
I am starting to think it was indeed the travel limiter that was causing the issue.

Back at it. After 4 months of flawless function, window gets stuck when closed. Budging the motor's gear with the 4mm allen just the tiniest bit gets it moving perfectly for a non defined number fo cycles (1 to 100).
Voltage at the motor stable when stuck or not.
Last thing I did that helped for 4 months was move the travel limiter.
Again, any insight welcome.
