Actually, the closet place was oreilly's and all they had was a reman... I didn't check the pigtail after I replaced, but since I am going to have to dig into it tomorrow again and probably return the motor , I will check the pigtail.

If you are digging into the door again, prior to removing the motor, pull the pigtail connector, and hook a meter or test light to it, then try the switches again.

the meter will read _ and then reverse polarity when operating the window, that will tell you if you need to pull the motor, or look somewhere else.

I checked the pigtail and got 1/-1 on both switches. I took the POS motor back and got a new one, spent about 30 minutes (took me a few minutes to find what the kids did with my sockets) and everything seems to be good.
