so try hooking power to the window motor to see if it works that way, if it does then its just a bad switch....

I called the dealer this morning. They have one in stock with the motor attached: $142. I'll be buying that today and putting it on this evening.

All done~! Man that was easy 
Literally about 25 minutes or so to replace it. 5 bolts and it's out. I already had the door panel off, so it was a breeze to get it out.
About $151 with tax for the replacement from the dealer, with the motor in it.
Thanks again

When mine broke the second time (or was it the third?) I was totally freaked out. I walked out of a mall into a parking garage to find the window down. 
Nothing was missing, but it did prompt a very long letter to Ford on this recurring issue.
