Default Rolling window down without ignition power

I dont have battery in car.

steering column is removed.

I want to roll down electric windows.

so... does teh key have to be on to power the window motor?
which plug controls window motor-I tried them all and I couldnt power window down.

its this a 6 connector job where I have to have power going to a relay somewhere that says key is on then power to window motor and so forth?

no FSM and not keeping car long enough to buy one just trying to roll windows down for storage in hopes they can be used by somebody in the future without glass damage.
and yes-they are for sale CHEAP. you come take them off=$50 each
I take them off=$100/each plus ship.

or I may decide they arent worth the hassle and send them with shell to pick/pull

theres a connector on the motor itself...pull it off and supply 12 volts and ground to either prong. Reverse it if nothing happens
