take the panel off the inside of your tail gate, if sitting in the cargo area and looking at window assembly you will see the mootor to your window on your right, you can do this a few different ways, the easiest in my opinion take the motor out, it'll be 3 10mm bolts if i remember correctly on the back side of it in a triangular pattern. Now you can trace the wires back and put in a new switch by wiring new hot wire and a 3 stage toggle (up, down,neutral) or go through the relays under the hood in front of the battery(towards the cab)

Thank you for the help I found a rather strange think if I run a ground wire to the female part of the plug by touching the pins I can get the window to move up and down go figure thanks Craig
