need help asap, please

ok, i made a dumb move. i was trying to clean my contacts in the master window switch, and i decided to take the whole thing apart to see what the green bulb looked like inside. i tried to put it back together, and i accidently snapped the circuit board. im really ****ed. i have my windows down right now, and i cannot roll them up. man i feel dumb. i was just wondering if there is any release switch or something so i can get my windows back up for now? i cant have my windows down at school tomorrow. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

If you know what you're doing with the wiring, pull the door panel off and find the connector on the regulator motor.. give it +12V on one wire, and ground on the other. if the window doesn't move or goes down, flip the wires around and do it again.

be careful, and I would suggest wiring a 5-10A fuse in line with it just in case, but you should be okay. I've done this several times in the past on my car when I had a similar situation.

i read this, and i said, i dont want to mess with electricity and wires. but then i realized i had a cigarette lighter adapter cut off from a black light that i wired to my car. so i used it, and hooked up the other wires to the window regulator. it worked! im a frickin genius! thanks for the help.
