Default Driver side window problem

The driver side window in my 1996 honda accord will roll down but not up. I'm pretty sure it's the switch (though I'm far from an expert so I guess it could be something else). Is there anyway to manually roll the window up until I can take my car to a mechanic in a couple days? Thanks.

Some Windows you can send power to the switch by using a jumper wire. Or you can take off door panel and either unbolt window from regulator and push up and use a wedge of some sort to hold up until you take to dealer. You might have someone pull up on window while pushing up button. Use a test light to check for voltage, at the motor plug, while you have panel off. If you have power in the up position then your switch is good and maybe just a bad motor
. If you have no power in up position then maybe a bad switch.

The window regulator has a two pin connector going to it.

You have to supply power to the red/blu wire and ground the red/yel wire.
