My driver's side power window motor seems to be dead. The problem is that the windows is down. Is there a way to close it manually? (something like the allen screw on the sunroof?) I need to close it ASAP, looks like rain tonight. TIA

Yep, there is. Take off door panel, and left.

PEACE THE DOG

you need to get a drill battery and bridge the terminals on the switch connector.
get a 12 volt battery, unplug the switch , grab two wires and bridge it...

check your power window fuse, then give the switch a good hard pull upwards first, just to see if you can kick it back on.

actually...you may want to pull the switch apart and clean out the leads.....that could do it. It takes 5 minutes. The switch pops out using a screwdriver without pulling the doorpanel off...

switch is in good shape. I see 12volts on each wire to the motor when I push/pull the switch. So I really don't think the switch is an issue. I've already cleaned out the switch and sanded the contacts though, that was my first instinct. That's why I am thinking it's got to be the motor that died. Pushing up on the window will turn the motor? Is it safe to do it? I've already tried putting some pressure on it and it didn't move an inch.
