once you've undone the bolts, wind the window down to the bottom and wiggle the glass out of its runners, and you should be able to remove it from there

Supply 12v to the motor, there should be a plug which connects the motor to the switches.

Undo that plug and just give it 12v of love.

Would check to see continuity to be sure which one is earth / ground tho :)
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

yes, I did it once on my co-worker's Isuzu coz his switch died

And once on my MR2 when I needed to swap the doors over, keeping the same lock cylinder.

there is no ground on motor terminals, it flips the polarity for either up or down, just apply 12v to the pins and if it goes wrong way, flip the polarity.
