RonJ: You go ahead and take this question to the 16 years old minimum-wage counter person at Radio Shack, and while you are at it, ask him if he sells cassette player head cleaner….. he will tell you the same answer to both..."no idea dude....what the hell is a cassette". I was hoping somebody here could give me a simple straight answer to wire this motor to an over-the-counter after market switch, that’s all. RonJ: next time let me judge if MY question was answered.
I understand your point. My intent was to provide you with advice that I thought would most quickly get the solution to your problem. I apologize that this advice instead resulted in offending you.

So, will a 3 position after-market (on/up, off/middle, on/down) switch work?

Yes. It needs to have 6 terminals on the back (also called "double pole"). A spring return to the center off would be almost essential, so it doesn't get left on.

Ok. I got me a motor. It has a 4 wire plug, I think red and red/black and blue or green and green/black. Anyone knows what these 4 wires represents? I was not expecting 4 wires, I thought it would have only 2. HELP!

Not sure that this will help. The circuit diagram (see picture) for power windows in 92-95 Civics indicates that the driver's window motor has four terminals and a component ground wire, whereas window motors in other doors have only two terminals. For the driver's motor (see picture), it looks like wires 1 and 2 power the motor, whereas wires 3 and 4 may power the driver window AUTO function.

I will use a double pole, momentarly on /off / momentarly on 3-position switch on wires 1 and 2. The switch I got inverts polarity in each throw. Will this make sense to you?

Sounds reasonable.

OK. Done deal. Wires 3 and 4 did the trick. This is a very cheap way to get power windows in a civic, and way easy. The switch and the motor/regulator were available brand new thru ebay and at the end I think I spent like 50 bucks. Thanks for you all help. If anyone wishes to get any tips or advice on doing this, email me at franciscoperez@adelphia.net. This is much easier than trying to figure out oem wiring and dealing with relays and modules. Its a very easy 2 wire/ 1 switch installation.

Sorry about the typo in my earlier post. The circuit diagram clearly shows that wires 3 and 4 power the window motor.
