Default Need Help W/Electrical Schematic

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 a link to the wiring schematic for the power windows/switch 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? Right now the battery is 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 else in the car 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.

That was the first thing I thought of doing. But, I couldn't get to the motors because the windows were in the down position, blocking access to the motors.
