How do I apply power to power window motor to raise it -details
What is your question?
1997 Toyota Camry
Hello, I'd be very thankful and appreciative for your help.
My problem began with a simple 'sluggish' driver's window - that often would go halfway down - and then a tenth of an inch up each time - little by little - IF I let the circuit 'rest'.
In attempting to replace the component - driver side control switche(s) - I shorted something and no windows will move and each is in some varying position of 'down' or open.
I read that if I expose the two wires connected [red and green] to the motor in the door AND applied power - to either one - the window would move [up or down] depending on where I applied the power.
I exposed the wires in the passenger door - it was easy to identify the two that go to the motor [simply two wires - R and G - and a connector. I applied power to both alternately - and nothing happened. I know the motor is good and surely I had 12 volts applied.
Here is my first question: Maybe I don't understand how the motor is grounded and taking just t

ANYTIME a power window stops working - then starts again after a short period - the window motor is failing - you stated “let the circuit rest†- well it ain’t nothing wrong with the circuit - the *window motor* is what needs the rest - because it is old and tired!
Connecting (jumping) battery power and ground to this window motor is going to result in nothing more than the exact same problem you had in the very beginning.
The drivers door window motor needs to be replaced .. Additionally - I recommend replacing the window regulator at the same time to prevent future problems and having to go back into the door again.
Now as for what other issues you may have contributed to the original problem by attempting diy repair - I have no idea.

Listen to clubinside, find the base problem. If you do have to power a window though you will have to apply power and ground, not just power. Switching the power and ground between those two wires will switch between rolling the window up or down.
