Need to get windows up, but none of them are working, and fuse is fine. I don't have time to get new parts or anything. Just need up right now.
I think motors must be good, since when do all 4 go out at same time.
Can I get a battery, and hook two wires to the window motor on the prongs where connector goes. One on positive going to battery and one on the metal of the door for ground? To get it to go up.
I'm assuming you have the V6 sedan and not the coupe. You won't have to pull all the door panels off. Just the Drivers Door panel to access the master switch wiring connectors (Connector's C1 and C2).
But once you do that instead of jumping Power and Ground to the individual door window motors, why not take just 5 minutes to troubleshoot the problem and be done with it?
It will literally take you 5 minutes with a $10 test light and I'll walk you through the step by step if you want.
To answer your question, yes you can put power and ground to the individual window motor circuits to make them go up.
Once you disconnect the C1 and C2 connectors on the master switch,
To get the drivers side window UP put Power to Pin E and Ground to Pin A of the C2 connector.
To get the Passenger side window UP put Power to Pin B and Ground to Pin C of the C2 connector.
To get the Left rear window Up put Power to Pin D and Ground to Pin C of the C1 connector.
To get the Right rear window up put Power to Pin G and Ground to Pin H of the C1 connector.
Well it's not that simple because window motors have reverse polarity. They go one way to go up and the other way to go down. You could take the door apart and access the two wires going to the motor, unplug them from the motor, then jump and if it doesn't work runway try the other way to get them up. You still would have to take all the doors apart to do that though
