Power window switches at the driver seat, are doing the funky chicken and I am hoping that I can jump two wires and make the driver window go up instead of permanently down.
New switches and such on the way but I got to drive with window down permanently.
What color wires can I jump across to send the driver door, window, UP! Please...
Thank you

It doesn't work like that, the polarity gets switched inside the window switch, there are only two wires going to the window motor, brn and dkblu. You will need to feed these wires power and ground and if the window goes down or doesn't move switch polarity so it will go up. BTW, there are 2 dkblu wires on the switch so make sure you get the right one, it should be next to the brn wire. Let me know how it goes or if you need any more help.
