Default Power window woes

So i've searched this topic and did find a few of them. None of them ending with a solution necessarily. For some reason my passenger side window on my 03' Ram stops working randomly. It happens at no apparent specific time. I thought it was first my control box on my driver side seeing as my passenger side switch would work. But after a few days it became apparent that both switches work but not all the time. I pull my drivers side switch out and started wiggling the wires going into the switches and the window will work. I thought at first it might have been a bad contact going into the switches so i cleaned then all and still nothing. My window will just randomly work when i wiggle the harness. So what do you all think? Pinched wire? Bad switch? (idk how it could be bad seeing the works randomly as does the passenger switch). Went to the dealer, they want $50 just to look at my truck. A new switch will run $125. Ebay used for about $65.

take it out and inspect all the terminals and check if if they are flush with the connector. maybe your next step will be to take off the door panel and inspect the wiring if its getting snug up on something and causeing the connector to start inching out of its connector.
i would say its nothing to do with the switch, most likely the wiring
