that's the module that controls 1. the express down feature on the
drivers door and 2. the window power being available after key-off until
a door is opened.  certain about #1, not absolutely so about #2.

the drivers window switch is set up differently, as it interacts with
the module described above.

you're door is open and mostly stripped... unplug the connector to the
window regulator (if you can find it) and apply 12v and ground tot he
two terminals.  window goes wrong way?  swap the two connections.
