Default Power Window Wiring, Need Help

I have the engine out of the car, steering column is out of the car and I need to roll up the power windows in the car so I can move it outside for a couple days. I have seen the wiring schematic for the power windows/switch (link to it below) but I absolutely SUCK at reading electrical schematics. Can someone help me out and tell me what wires I can hook up to a 12v source just to get the windows up? I have the battery disconnected, door panels off the car, the switches disconnected, just need to get the windows up without having to worry about an electrical short somewhere with all the loose wires everywhere.

Here is the schematic:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hah, figured it out. So for anyone else in this same situation here goes.

With the window switch hooked up to the lines at the door panel, connect the negative (-) side of the battery to the black wire, then connect the positive (+) side of the battery to the brown wire. This will allow the switches for the windows to work as normal.

Got both windows up now,,,, pheeew.
