Default Totally Stumped!! Window Issues.. Please Help!!!

Hey guys, so this is where I am at.

I have 2003 350z. Ever since I bought it, the passenger window will go down and inch when the door is opened, however it doesnt roll back up. Then it will go down another inch when opened back up.
It didnt bother me too much as I would just roll the window up after then passenger got out. This went on for about a year.

A couple days ago, the window went down, but not back up. Now its all the way down and wont go up. After research I figured it was the motor. I pulled the door panel off and plugged in the new motor. Nothing! Put the old motor back in and Nothing!

I grabbed my multimeter to check to see if power was going to the motor when the button was pressed. For some random reason, when the multimeter is switched to 12v and I checked the power on the first wire(green ish color), the motor moved in the down position for 2 seconds. And the down button would move the motor even with the car off, just not the up button. I grounded that wire and same thing. Motor works in the down position, when the ground is first touched the motor moves for 2 seconds.

What is going on here? So its clearly not the motor.. So I assume its the switch? I called the dealer and they said its 150 for the switch and there are no returns, special order and it will take two weeks to get. I need my car now and I cant have my window down all the time. Could someone please shine some light on this. I have no idea whats going on.
THanks

Did you try the reset procedure first?

The reset procedure requires you to first roll your window up. My window motor doesnt even respond to the up position on the switch

I had a similar issue but was resolved with a new window motor. Did you try the new motor and window procedure withbit?

Have you considered the button that triggers the window to go down when the door is open may be malfunctioning as a Co problem

Just a thought

Question
You have tried the new motor using both pass and driver window switches?
Make sure the window lockout switch on driver armrest is not down.
