This is the same with both mechanisms that I have tried. I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue. Can anybody help please? I have noticed a little wiggle room in the harness where it plugs into the door lock mechanism and when I wiggle this it works as it should. As soon as I let it go it shuts off (the light) and the window goes back up like the door is closed. Could this be a reset issue? When I say reset I mean could I have to do the memory up and down with my windows to get it to work properly? Of course when I am working on all this my door is opened so I am not sure how to best test this. Its a pain to put the door panel back on just to find out its still the same. Thanks.

All you need to do is trace which wire it is in the harness that is having the issue.
Use either a circuit light, or a DVOM, and test each wire's continuity to ground to see if its one wire in particular that is having the issue, then back track it through to the car body, and see if the harness was pinched somewhere between.
If it's just one wire, you can easily splice in a new wire to fix it.
Enough testing, and you might even be able to find the break point, and fix it there.
