Remove the door card, unplug the motor and connect it directly to a 12V DC source, if it moves down instead of up, reverse the polarity.

not sure if possible but not so difficult to flip the switch panel out, and see if it is possible to pull the plug from driver side switch to passenger side switch to get the window up.

edit: Checked images, not so easy as i hoped. If you find a wiring diagram you could just short the correct wires there without removing door card.

Just before you take it apart you have checked the window lock button at the front of the driver side switch panel.

haha this one should be on auto when this comes up :)

I have no idea what that button actually is good for, other than confuse the owner. 

Come to think of it, it can better be reused for something useful, I'll think of something some day..

Thank u for your reply what has happened is the switch toggle is broken on passenger and driver side looks like non genuine parts used being that it is simply the switches that are broken should I still try running wire from motor to 12V/DC power source??

I would just flip out the switch panel from the door, on the original panel the clips are at the ends. measure to see if there is a 12V there allready and go from there. use the wiring diagram to see what wires goes to the window motor.
Not so easy if it has been fiddled with before and is not original though.

Would strongly recommend trying to get it back to the original state as it is way more predictable then. switch panels are not expensive and can be found used.

Found it on ebay easy (Jimny door switch) but cannot recommend ordering this from China. But that is the low budget alternative.

Do check the button on the end there as Lambert says :)
