Hello,

Bypassing the switch will be rough due to the polarity changes when the window goes up, and then down. But if its the only way here is a window wiring diagram (BELOW) for you so you can make it happen.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

The best way is to simply replace the switch. Without it you would need do do multiple wiring changes to make the windows work. As a one time thing to test or roll them up moving a wire around is OK, but it's real easy to put power to the wrong terminal and cause damage.

The bulb flash sounds like you have a bad ground at one of the lights, the vibration as you drive wiggles it enough that it starts working. Grounds for both front and rear are the Black wires.
