HowTo manually windup my electrical window -->Getting Wet!&#33

[WetDriver]

Yes, very amusing I'm sure but anyone got pointers on how to windup manually my electrical windows ?

 

I got an electrical issue with my Ford Escort (Ghia model 1989 with manual sun roof) and on a hot day I foolishly wound down my windows but due to some short circuit it wont wind up and I'm getting WET!!

 

Anyone with help or process would greatly be appreciated!!

fiddle /clean the contacts on the wires that go into the switch , worth a try , worked on mine

bah no amount of fiddling/cleaning is getting it to close the window electrically, I must have a shortcut somewhere!!

 

Nobody got manual steps to force close my windows ?

put a plastic sheet in the window and tape round the edge

remove the door car and force it up...

Even with the card of I think you will struggle. I'd whip the card of, and cut the motor wires, then bridge them into a 12v supply, and get it up!

swap the windows round on the button - assuming the passenger window is working

I've never looked, but I would assume there's not too much difference between the power window aqnd manual window mecahnisms.

 

If so, the thought occurs that all that's needed is to get the motor out of the way, so you can access the shaft that the motor turns - maybe use one of the rear door handles - and crank it up until you can get it fixed.

 

It's all speculation though. Like I say, I've never looked!

u cnt do it mate, the manual windo has a thing for the winder to plug on to, just bridge is the best bet..

u will have to remove the door card and descanct the window from the cannection un do the 2 pozzy drive screws then with 2 hands 1 inside 1 outside with your hands flat slide the window of the mec and slide it up then use gaffer tape to hold in to place i work for RAC auto windscreens hope this helps u
