Default Window stopped working, intermittent

I have a 2003 V6 6 Speed Accord. When I bought the car through a private sale, the Driver side window would work whenever it wanted too, since then, it has stopped working all together. Now, my passenger side window works intermittently, so it should stop working anytime as did the driver side.

My question is, what would cause the intermittency? I have replaced the driver side door master switch twice already with no luck. Once with an 06 switch in which nothing worked, and once with an 04 switch where it worked the same as my original, except it wouldn't lock my doors using the remote (key).

So, the switch has been ruled out. It is fine. Where should I turn to next? Motor? Fuses would not be intermittent... help me out guys!

Thanks in advance.

Is the problem that sometimes the window will not open after being closed for a while? We have an 04 in the family and the passanger side window gets stuck on the top seal sometimes and wont open, but if the weather changes, i.e. colder/warmer sometimes it works like nothing was wrong. In our case it's not the motor or the switch but a sticky weather seal at the top.

Find a friend at the dealer and see if they can command the windows with the HDS, that can split the system between the control and multiplex sides.

I don't dare to try it, in fear that I won't be able to make the window go back up.
