Default windows go down but dont go up?

hey all,i have a 97 gst spyder,when i drop the top all 4 windows automaticlygo down as well,but will not go back up.when i got the the car there was a ton of extra parts,nuts,bolts,2 extra heads,1 extra valve cover,extra intake,2 extra turbo exhaste manafolds.BUT there was also a door actuator in the boxes.i have been from 1 end to the other trying to find either an empty plug that the door acuator fits or a actuator that is shot.i checked every fuse,every fuse link,every relay,and the only way i was able to get them up was to run a wire from the battery to the plug and try to power them and get them up befor it rained.it sucked but it worked.the power locks are not working either.any help at all?

Well if you ran a jumper and the motor moves up, your probably not getting any power from the window swich. Ohm the wire from the motor to the switch and see if its good. Sounds like you have a broken wire between those 2 points.

Oh sry I missed that part. Check the master window switch, see if there is continuity @ the switch w/ the windows going up.
