You'd have to give 12 volts to one lead going into the window motor, and ground the other lead. You should be able to find the two leads at the driver's window switch. Reversing which lead you give power and ground to will move the window in the opposite direction. If you have a test light, it'll make it a lot easier to figure out which are the two motor leads.
