Need 78 rear window help

Rear power window help needed. Getting constant 12v from Blk/wht wire all the way back to key switch with key off. Safety switch tested good. Window motor works fine off of 12v. Key switch gives motor 12v in both directions. But motor won’t turn off of key switch unless I ground one of the motor wires. Is this a bad key switch symptom? Thanks.

Not sure if all of this applies to your Gen 2 or not.

I had a similar problem with my 79, but the gear in the window motor had split in 3 pieces...
