power windows acting up

OK so like 80% of the time my power widnows dont work. There is a loose connection somewhere under the dash cause fi i mess around with the wires under there by kicking them then the windows sometimes start working. Ive looked at the large pink wire that goes inot eh back of the fuse panel and that is in there solid. I even check to see that th metal was connecting and it is. Now is there another wire that controls the windows that im not seeing. Or is there a fuse or somethin else that could be loose? im tired of having to drive around in 85 degree weather with my windows up and leaving it in the driveway with the windows down at night.

There is a pink (sometimes orange) wire that runs from the WDO circuit breaker (metal 35 AMP) on the fuse block to junction block C238 located under the dash behind the left kick panel. There is a pink wire that runs from there and splits off with a pink wire going to pin "D" of each power window switch.

I had a similar problem with my car... in my case, it turned out to be a bad ignition switch... fiddled with the key in the ignition and it would start working again... on my car, when the windows stopped working, so did the vents! Replaced the ignition switch and windows work fine now.
