Try at your own risk :) Redneck style
This is the Redneck way to roll up a power window that has a bad switch...
1: Take the door panel off
2: unplug the motor
3: hook jumper cables directly to the window motor
4: hook cables to a battery
5: change cables oppositely to reverse direction :)
*NOTE*
This is just a redneck way to do it lol I needed the window up because it is supposed to rain all week :)

  • What was the point of this video, to show us how to connect jumper cables. Showing us the connection from the door side, now that may have been useful.

  • I used the battery off my 12V Makita cordless impact driver. You can use the 18v Dewalt batteries as well. The voltage is higher but the amps are too low to fry the coil on the motor.

  • I want to say that I will never allow anyone in my presence to make a stupid comment about "Rednecks" ever again! Thank-you guys so much for this post. I just did this on my truck and it worked perfectly. Got the window up and am now ready for the big storm to hit. Just wanted the dang window up!!!! Thank-you again for sharing this bit of information!!

  • Kind of stupid if you ask me. The darned switch isnt but a few bucks at a salvage yard.

  • thanks....

  • thea should be 2 wires going to the mota inside of the door panel,disconect those wires from the main door switch, get some speaker wire that is long 2 reach the battery, now wire it up to the 2 wires you have disconected from the main switch, then touch the end of those wires on the battery ++ and - - reversing the wires will get the window up + - and - + fuck all the haters this video helped me out....

  • How do you know what wires to connect at the window to roll up. I have a toyota camry...I need to know which wires I should connect to off the battery.

  • How do you know what wires to connect at the window to roll up

  • Really though, why even bother to upload this vid. It does not help at all. Is obvious if you have a bad switch the window wont even move wether you jump it or reverse it. Reversing the polarities to your battery may even damage the vehicle. So youtube viewers dont ruin your car.

  • wow. 30 seconds of my life wasted.

  • your A REDNECK IMBREAD LIL FUCKER LEARN HOW TO MAKE A USEFUL VIDEO

    I FIGURED IT OUT THE LIL IMBREAD HOOKED BOOSTER CABLES TO THE TWO MAIN WIRES COMING OFF THE WINDOW MOTOR THEN HOOKED THE BOOSTERS UP TO THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINALS REVERSE THE POLARITY BY PUTTING THE BOOSTERS ON OPPOSITE TERMINALS IT WILL GO THE OPPOSITE WAY UP OR DOWN THERE WAS NO SPARKS OR ANY HAZARD IT WORKED FOR ME DON'T BE SCARED TO TRY BECAUSE ITS WORKS GREAT :)
