I will get some wire tomorrow from my shop( auto mechanic, don't know why I didn't think of the bypass method once I didn't get continuity on switch ):) thank you a million Eric!!! My wife thinks I'm a genius now :D

So the washer was working fine for a couple days after bypassing the lid switch and this morning it stopped agitating and spinning again :( ... The lid switch arrived today and I replaced and still nothing.. I did notice that even with the power off I can hear some ticking from timer I believe. What else can I try?

And is there an easy way to test the motor since I have the panel off already? That timer is over a hundred bucks. Do you think it's worth fixing? Thanx in advance
