Any way to isolate power for power windows?

I need to put down the power windows on an 86 IROC. Is there a way power up just the windows where they hook up at the fuse box? I would just put in a battery and turn the key like usual, but the car was hit in the front passenger side and the steering column is unplugged and missing.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

No real good way. You can take the door panel off and jump the motor, or you can take the switch out of the centre console and jump that with a battery. Now the motor is grounded by the body not the wiring.
