Default Power window operation wo computer

I have a 2008 corvette that I bought for parts. I need to roll the window up but I don't have anything to hook up to the wiring on the door. Can someone tell me what 2 wires are that need to be connected to positive an negative? Thanks

I believe that the computers that control the windows (the DDM and FPDM) are within the doors themselves. I don't know if they will work without the serial data bus going or not. It can't hurt to try.

On the driver's door, there's a plug with room for four conductors. Supply +12 to the red/white wire and ground to the black/white wire and see if the window switch works.

On the passenger door, the connector has room for six conductors. +12 is red/white and ground is black.

Running the window all the way up (if you can) and then closing the door may damage the seal at the top because you won't have the window's indexing feature.

May not be a concern on a 'parts' car.
