00 Volvo S80 rear window won't go up

Afternoon,
Please bare with me because I am a novice at best with auto repairs so please provide as much info as possible.
My rear locks and windows are having issues. The main problem is the passenger rear window will not go up. I've switched the switches (rear windows) around and still doesn't work. I've read where you can unhook the switch and force the window up or down using the battery power but I have no idea what wires (6) I should hook up to to get it to move. The wire colors in order are red/black, black, blue, and yellow, green/brown, purple. Which ones do I hook power to? Can I just use the battery to generate the power?
Thank you for your assistance!
Dave

the problem might be in the driver control, sometimes the switches do not make the connections when they are in the released position (allowing the rear one to operate)
i would connect all back and try the driver door control for that window, but pull up so very slowly and wiggle the switch slowly and gently as you do, you will most likely find a sweet spot where it will work.
If it does not work i would use DICE to command the window up, if you have not access to that, you will most likely need to buy a new driver door module (the door switch).
Make sure you buy the same part number and not one that suppressed it to avoid having to have software downloaded.

Thank you EJBJ for taking the time to respond. I attempted that along with detaching the connections then reattaching. I hear a small click when I try the master but it still won't go up. I even tried the master with the rear switch and still nothing. I've read where you can attach 12v to the proper wires and then it will work but I can't figure out which wires to use. I tried the combination of all six but getting nothing. The wire colors in order are red/black, black, blue, and yellow, green/brown, purple. Which ones do I hook power to?
Thanks again buddy

I had a similar problem but i could still control it from the drivers panel. Check the fuses in the trunk maybe.
