Lower window without any power?
Can anyone tell me if there is any easy way to lower a window manually? I have to ship out a door and I do not have any power to the car (parting it out) to use the switch.
Thanks!

Be careful probing power in the door as it is probably pretty easy to blow up the computer (door module). The window switch is only an input for the door computer and does not power the window motor, the computer has the relays inside that powers the motor. No way to manual turn anything either. I would remove the door panel, speaker, and remove the wire from the motor and probe the motor directly. It should be a two wire plug, just apply 12VDC from a battery, if it goes up reverse the lead and power it again, it will go down. You should be able to trace the wires back from the motor and unplug them from the door computer and probe it there. Don't forget to plug the motor back up or the next person will be wondering why it don't work.
