Default Window Switch OverRide ?

I believe the passenger window switch on my 92 just went bad. The window is halfway up/down. With the switch plugged in, the radio stopped playing and of course the window wont work. I unplugged it, and the radio started to play again. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot this and / or raise the window manually until I can get it fixed?

After some more door stuff removal, it looks like the power wire to the motor shorted against the metal innner door panel. Probably need a new motor at this point.
But is there a way to raise the window manually?

I don't think the shorted wire would cause the motor to faif. Fix the short check for a blown fuse. I can check out my shop book but i bet the motor works after you fix the wire

I fixed the bad wire, no blown fuses, everthing electrical works except for the passenger window.
It must be a bad motor unless you can see something in the manual.
