Car power window failed - need to get closed

Try pouring alcahol down the switch and let dry. My window wouldn't go up but went down fine. I took my trickle battery charger for my motorcycle and used it to send a charge to the the motor inside the door panel, bypassing the switch. This did get the window up until I could replace the master switch. If the window goes up, your motor is fine. If you reverse the charger wires to the motor, this will power the window down. Hope this is helpful ! Try pouring alcahol down the switch and let dry. My window wouldn't go up but went down fine.

You have to remove motor and a few bolts. It is a pain because you may have rivits going through the motor and those have to be drilled out, then you have to slide regulator(sicssors) through the side opening. If you just want to get the window up, look at previous post. If you cant get window to power up or down, using this method, you need a motor. Easy to replace.
