Are you sure that the window motor is burnt out. The one that mazda uses is very bullet proof.

90% of the time its not the motor, but the switch.

the motor has a long string of plastic beads that runs through it. u can disconnect the motor & if worst comes to worst, just disassemble the little plastic circle the beads fall directly into..then push that string of beads up while at the same time pulling the glass up with your hands. then bolt it back in. it will stay up forever. hope u got a/c.

Goody for you and the typos, how about retype it, because I can't tell WTF you wrote!

Just take a good look at the wiring diagram, and find the red and green wires that acutate the motor (I THINK that's the color, I forget). Apply ground to one, and 12V to the other. If the window motor just makes noise but doesn't go anywhere, reverse the two wires. Zip!

And you'll know for sure if it's the motor.

However, I don't know of ANY way to manual operate the window, so good luck.
