[mischief3003]

Hey guys I was wondering if there was a way for me to move my window up manually. My switch broke and I dont think im gonna be finding one anytime soon. I tried pulling the window up but I didnt wanna break something by putting oin to much pressure. Help!!! it's been rainging here and i have work later!!

Is it just the switch? If so, pull the panel off, and throw 12 volt at the motor. One way it will go up, the other it will go down.

Hello,

 

You may want to consult a wiring diagram. If I remember correctly, my S-10 is hot all the time and the switch controls the ground to the motor...so throwing 12 volts at it won't do much.

Really? So basically, he could tie 12v to the constant, then ground out the wire for the appropriate up or down position, right?
