In an emergency like that just manually put them up-- there's little ***** you can turn on the top of each motor-unit-thingy.

Sorry I can't offer any real help

The little ***** are under a rubber cap. If you hear the motors running, check the extention arms at the ball joint,may habe become disconnected. If not running you can visually trace the wires to the fusable link ,one of the three located to the right of the coils. unplug and check with a continuity meter. Good luck. Bob

Check the fusable link . It should be located on the drivers side fender . The link is the bottom one of the three. Check it good to make sure it is pluged in or not burned in half.
