I kept the Doors (all power) off my 93 SE Coupe I sent to be crushed.
I need to remove the door handle (to swap to donor car) and the window is half way Down.
PWR window.
Which Wires to get Power to get the Switch to roll it back up??
*Everything STill intact**
Only 2 wires needed to power/tap to the harness (still attached) to the Door/window Regulator?

Smash the window :)
The easiest way would be to tap into the window motor harness. Put ground and power to the two wires. Reverse the wires and the window will go in the opposite direction.

So do you have the door panel off the car? The door panel will come off, with the window partially up, just pull the bottom off first, and then lift the top off.
If you still need to lower the window, once the door panel is off, undo the little black clip near the top (rectangular, can't miss it) and give +12v to one side and ground to the other, and it'll either go up or down - if it goes up, reverse polarity.
If you're trying to lower the window with the door panel in there, I hope you have access to the switch, because the window motor doesn't connect to anything outside the door - the drivers side switch is what gives power to the motor.

i've got everything.The Switch,window amp,etc - EVERYTHING still on the door like it was attached,..just no body to use to Power it.
DOOR panel is Removed.
Which 2 wires though is the question.I can't tell/not good w/ Wire Pinouts Using the FSM.

This is the little Black Long Rect with only like 3-4 wires coming out of it??
Attached near the Metal Handle??
Which wires though. Red and Blk?
I'm trying to get the outside door handle off BTW

Oh, I see what you mean now :)
Yeah, the little black rectangular plug - it's got two wires on each side. Disconnect it.
One side (the side of the plug that's attached to the door) is for the window motor - simple +12v to one, Ground to the other, and the window will move. Like I said, if it doesn't go the way you want, reverse polarity, and you're in there like swimwear :)

There is another way. It involves playing with the plug on the door that goes into the cabin.
The driver side is simple but the passenger side is more complicated.
It's much easier to hit the motor itself with current as described above.
If for some reason you can't get to the motor harness then let me know and I'll tell you how to do it with the switch.
