Nissan Repair: 1998 Nissan Altima P/Ws, nissan altima, jumper wire

Question
Is there a means to raise the power windows without power to motors? I have a bad drivers control panel and windows are partially down. Would like to close till I can find a control board. tks, dave.

Answer
Hi Dave -

There are 2 ways you can do this -

First - supply power to the "up" terminal of the window switch using a jumper wire. This will only work if the motor is not fried.

Second - Remove the door panel and manually lift the window. To do this, you must first disengage the motor, then lift the window up all thew way, and re-install the motor.

Hope this helps -
aloha
