it's only two wires. run a wire from the positive terminal of the battery to one of the motor wires and another one from the negative to the other wire. if the motor runs but doesn't raise the window, switch the wires around either at the battery or the motor. easy peezy, lemon squeezy.

have a 91 a similar issue happened with. the power goes through the driver side switch to start with, my pass window got stuck down, finally after playing with it i got it to go up, the pass switch wouldn't even work then. and i have had my amplifier go out also which is a little box on the driver side just aft of the handle on the door. both side use that amp, i got mine from a local junkyard.

can u not pull the switch apart and repair it?

they come apart pretty easily and are all solid state so repairing them is pretty easy unless its somthin major.

no the actual buttons came off of it and i could only use the little white tabs on it to go up and down and the drivers side portion i have to hold down to a point to where it almost cuts my finger to get it to go in the up position.
