Default Driver's Side Window Problem!!!

Ok, I tried doing a search for "window switch", and all I found were threads in the nitrous section... just goes to show how much of a noob I am haha. But the problem is, in my 1999 z28, the driver's side window switch works on and off, it works sometimes, and most of the times it doesn't. When it does work, the motor seems to be fine, it goes up and down without hesitating (unless of course, the switch craps out). So how should I go about getting this fixed? Do you guys think it's just a bad connection somehwere, or is it indeed a bad motor? How much would it cost to get fixed?

*I originally posted this on "newbie tech", but just saw this forum and figured it was more appropriate.

Drivers side switch is about 30 dollars and the pass is about 13. It is worth a shot.

update... just purchased the driver's side window switch for $26 at the dealer and that didn't work. i'm beginning to think it's a problem with a connection deep inside the door... dammit. oh well, there goes a $26 mistake haha

You should be able to take it back for your money. But they go bad over time anyways.

Does the switch sit in there loosely? Does the switch work 100% of the time if you hold it in your hand?
