AhHHH check the wires between the door for some reason the wires get brittle and due to the open & close or the door they break, what i found with my gs is that the wires did break but the sheilding was intact so u might have to strip back the sheilding on the wire to see the damage

Does either switch work ? The master or the door switches ?

Ive never heard that before. Are yours really brittle ? Mine are soft as new. Even still has the electo grease in the sockets of the couplers.

Sounds like your used master switch suffers from the same problem. If the motor works by jumping it, then you need a new switch.
