not the normal power window question

ok, so i am swaping the motor out of my 91 na and putting in an na motor. well i pulled motor, harness, ecu, and all the goodies that come with that. so the dumbass that i am i rolled my power windows down because i figured it would be easier to get in and out of the car while i work on it. well its april, the car isnt done and the greenhouse that it is sitting in needs to be filled with plants for our spring season. so i need to move it outside and obviously need the windows up so it can sit outside. i tried to connect the battery side harness to the battery to roll them up but it didnt work. then i tried putting the ecu back in, again it didnt work. what do i need to do to get these dam windows up? do i need to connect the other plugs into the ecu? i really have no idea. any help will be greatly accepted.

you could jumper the wires? take the door panel off and bypass the switch to the motor.

If you pulled the motor, your battery is no longer connected to anything. Normally the + cable goes to the starter, and the - cable goes to the bell housing. The driverside harness is what you should be looking at, not the ECU/engine harness. That's unrelated. Don't just connect the positive lead to anything though, you'll short out some components.

I'd say your best shot is to get a 12V source and take a look at the diagram for the window switch. You can jury rig it long enough to get it up.
