The car is a 95 240sx w/ power windows. Because of an engine fire I have no wiring on the left side of the engine bay. When the fire happened my windows were down. Now its sitting on the side of my house and i have bags over the windows. I just took off the door panel and tried to see if there was a manual crank spot or where i could hook up a battery to get the window up, but had no luck. If anyone has any suggestions i would be very appriciative.

When you have the panel off, look for the connector for the motor.
Just pull it off and give 12V and gnd to the two contacts (one way will go up,the other down). Just be careful not to short the battery.

Ok, good. Thats what i thought that 4 point connector is for. My battery must not of had enough juice to get it to move. Thanks.

2pin, not four. Colors are blue and green on one side, both blue on the other side.

Ok, i found the 2 pin connector. However, when i put a ground on the car and put a positive current to the blue w/ red wire the window will go down. If i put positive current through the solid blue wire, it will spark. Ive been trying diff combos all day w/ no luck. The only thing that i can get to happen besides the window to go down, is getting the relay to click. That is the extent of my progress today. HELP!

You need to apply positive to one wire, negative to the other wire... not the car.
