Any way to move a power window if the motor is burned up?
Ok so heres the deal. My window is stuck down, im positive the motor is bad. (shorted current to it, nothing happens) Is there any way to manually make the window go back up?

I only know of one way, sorry it's probly the hard way too lol.
You take the door panel off, unbolt the glass (slowly drop it to the bottom), and take the window track off and pull it out. There is a spindle at the bottom which moves the track up and down, you can unbolt this from the track and move the track to the top. Now just rebolt everything and put the glass back on the track.
Sorry only way I know lol

Another hard way, but less unbolting...
Take the panel off
Take the motor off (3 bolts)
Pull the motor out. Unscrew the 2 screws holding the black tube to the rest of the motor. Take the motor out and pull the window up. Put a block of wood or something in to hold the window up. You can either leave the block of wood in, or replace the motor and screw it back together. It'll hold either way.
