Default How do I lower the window if the switch doesn't work?

Have my door panel apart, just trying to remove the window to repair my door handles. The switch is good, the window just doesn't go down. Any suggestions?

Don't know if the motors are the same, but if so, pay for shipping and I will send you the window motors for free from my 83. Probably be like $15-$20 to ship.

PM me if you want them.
