How To Do It
If your window won’t go up or down, there’s a good chance that the power window motor is stuck. Before you start to fix anything, make sure you know how to manually raise a power window. Start by getting a rope or extension cord and tying it around the top of the window, about two-thirds of the way up. Now reach inside and pull on the cord until the window goes all the way up. You can also use a stick to help push against the bottom of the window and help it go up. If you still can’t get it to move, try pushing from outside the car. Standing on either side of the car will give you more leverage.
