Well I spent 40 days in the middle of the Mohave Desert. I come home, and I pick up my baby (88 944 n/a). Before I left I knew the driver side window control didnt work. Its a nice day, so I lean over and roll down the passenger side window. Now, it won't go up. And I live in the desert. Aside from taping a trash bag over the window, what can I do to fix this problem fast? Please help me!

roll down? the window?
you can temporarily try the drivers side switch on the pass side to see if the switch is bad- otherwise it's the motor.. you can truy applying power to the motor with an external 12V source (spare battery will work) to see if the wiring is bad.

if it is desperate, you can always take the door panel off and push it up with you hand.

Park it in a garage.



Sorry, that one might have been obvious.

Unscrew the trim around the window switches, take them out and switch them around. The passenger side window is ran off of the drivers side switch methinks, and if you swap em they might roll up. Give it a shot.
