How do you Manually raise a passenger power window?

You generally can't manually raise a power passenger window if the power mechanism is malfunctioning. Power windows rely on an electric motor and associated components. There's no typical manual override.

If the power is out, the window might be stuck in the down position. You may be able to manually *close* it in some car models by using a tool to carefully engage the mechanism, but this is extremely model-specific and usually requires removing interior panels and potentially damaging them. It's not something to attempt lightly.

Instead of trying to force it, your best bet is:

* Check the fuses: A blown fuse could be the problem. Check your car's owner's manual to locate the fuse box and identify the fuse for the power windows.

* Check the power window switch: Try using the driver's side switch to operate the passenger window. A faulty switch on the passenger side could be the issue.

* Call a professional: If neither of these solves the problem, you should contact a mechanic or your dealership. Attempting to manually force the window could cause further damage.
