how do i get the electric driver window on my 85 mercury marquis to roll up< the motor isnt making any noise to indicate that its trying to roll up or down, i need a way to get it up until repair

I had this problem with an Xj40 when the wiring broke as the window was down.

You have to take the card off the door and find the switch wiring loom.

seperate them and ascertain which one is the live and positive, on some cars the circuits are reversible for up and down but you need to supply a 12 volt feed to the motor in the direction that puts it up.

Many motor problems are caused by dirty wiring contacts mainly through dirt seeping up the door drain channels
