106, and no the door isnt attached to the car - its hanging from my garage roof. The motor has a two pin plug so im guessing 12vs one way = go down, 12v's the other way = window goes up.

just get two pieces of wire and attach them to a battery (12v) and the others to the plug which ever way makes it go down.

Shouldn't do, thats how i tested my horn and fan - they only draw the current needed, so should be fine.

if you run it off your cig lighter its just the same as running it off your battrey so may aswell just do it off the batery, will be easier.

it will not go bang, it runs off the battery, everything runs off the battery, which is 12v.
