Olds Silhouette power rear door

[jimoreo]

My neighbor has a '96 Silhouette. The dash shows that the power door is always open and now the motor will not work. We thought it was because the switch thought the door was open. We took the switch apart and cleaned it. Now the dash sometime shows the door as open when it is open or closed. Sometimes it shows the door as closed when it is open or closed.

On the door contacts, looks like the top two contacts go to the power door locks and the bottom three do something different. The middle contact has 12 volts power when the ignition switch is on.

My Clymers does not have wiring diagrams of the power door.

When I push the door open or close switch, nothing happens. We've checked the fuses.

Thanks for any help.
