Does anyone have a wiring diagram for '96 window controls?

Hi all! My driver's side window won't roll up, the underside of the switch is corroded so I'm thinking it fizzled out. It rolled up intemittently before it stayed down the last time for good. At the moment I don't have the money for the part and just want to bypass the switch and get it rolled up. We had our first snow yesterday and it's so cold to drive!
So, if anyone has a wiring diagram, or can even just explain which one will roll the window up, that would be so great. I already know which one is the hot one, so I'm alright there.
Thanks in advance! - Lori

Light green is up and white is down. Tan is the power source. Black is ground. Measure the resistance from lt green to white to measure across the motor windings. Open indicates a fried motor or broken wire. I'm picturing you with a connector disconnected from the switch assembly. Don't forget to ground the white wire as you apply power to the light green.

Good info RIP and if he puts 12v to the green and jumps the white to ground so long as the motor is ok it should go up

Uh oh! loribythesea is a she. Be ready to suffer the rath.

Yup. Should have said jump white to black then touch tan to green. Lots clearer. Cheers!

:rofl: Ha! That's okay, forgiven. Thanks a ton for the info. A bit of unexpected rain got into it so I'm gonna wait for it to dry out before I give it a try. I will definitely post the results. -Lori

check out autozone.com they have free repair guides with wiring diagrams.
Can you trade the passenger window switch with the bad one?
