Does anyone know what the color code for the wires on a power window switch for the Loyale is? (this is the right hand passenger side door so theres only one switch). My switch has self destructed but i want to figure out how to use the wires to manually raise the window (if that will work). It should be possible to just jumper the correct wires. so i was able to get this to work... Turns out what the switch does, is short the CENTER wires (which are YELLOW and YELLOW RED) to the wires on either side. (so its a 2 pole, 2 position switch). In order to operate it "manually" i used 2 pairs of needlenose (with electrical tape to keep them from "shorting" to each other in parallel. Shorting the two center pins to the upper side pins moves the window one way, to the lower side pins moves the window the other way. Note there are only 5 wires to the switch: One pair: RED * Black/Orange* Middle (center contact): Yellow and Yellow-Red Other side (only one wire) = Black/white (with an orange band painted on it) There's no 6th wire on the 2nd set of contacts because that contact is connected inside the switch to the contact diagonally opposite (other side, other end of the switch). The switch has 2 contacts which are "rockers" inside it. They either connect the center pole(s) to the "UP" or "Down" side of the switch. I was able to get my window to go up on the first try by jumpering the switch contacts. (I believe the side with the one wire is the one you want to jumper to center to get the window to go up). It looks like the way the motor works is you're just reversing the voltage 12Volts between the two sides of the motor in one direction makes it go up, the other direction makes it go down. Obviously remove the jumper when you get to the end you're looking for... I did find a source for a new switch, and now i have time to wait for it (with the window safely up).
