Exclamation Window stuck down from broken switch

Hey guys quick question. I don't have time to search this answer because I'm currently on my shift in the ED. In the process of rolling up the window the switch quits working so my driver window is stuck down.

What wires do I cross to get the window back up?

I just need a quick fix so things don't get jacked.

Jump the brown to the dark blue. Hope it's not too late.

Unless your window motor went bad, which is common in our cars. Then your screwed

Your switch is fine. Your motor is dead.

If you are lucky, it might work once you let it cool down. Open the door, and try to put it up. If it does start going up, tug up on the glass as it keeps going. This might give it enough help to get up all the way before it dies on you again.

BTW - If you do get it up, you don't want to put it down again until you have the new motor in hand and ready to go... At some point, (it might be there now) the motor will die 100%.

I got it rigged last night. Thanks for the advice guys.

The motor is perfectly fine, the switch itself went bad. I have had the motor go bad in the past on another fbody and so I manually rotated the gears to get the window up.
