Default Close windows after doors off

So I purchased a set of 2012 full doors and the windows were down when I purchased them. The wiring harness on my 2013 does not match.

I'm looking to trade for half doors, but need to be able to close the windows to trade them. Is there any way to close the windows without hooking up to a 2012?

I would think that if you found a pin out of the harness, it should be as simple as supplying 12v to the correct pin and they should go up. Why do you need to put them up in order to trade? Just to prove they work?

Use the hand crank. Haven't heard about one letting anybody down during a rainstorm yet And you can show the buyer it works.
Sorry folks...just had to...
Only 2 0ptions I refused to order was power windows/locks and 6 disc radio. They've always been the biggest PIA's in any vehicle ever built.

I need them up so the person that trades for them can have them up until he's able to get the right wiring. The prospective buyer/trader has non power doors currently.

Ideally I would find someone with power half doors to trade.

I tried using the wire harness with 12v off the battery by connecting copper wires off the jumper cables and trying to trigger the windows through the connector. Couldnt get that to work. Fortunately the rear door connectors didnt change, so I was able to get the rear windows up using my 2013 JK.

Any other ideas for the front doors?

I may have to text the guy I bought them from on craigslist and ask if I can bring them back to hook them up to his jeep and raise the windows. Hoping to find something easier that I can do at home.
