Any electrical guys... HELP!

On my spyder, the back little window that goes up and down has stoped working. When I was inside the bank, my friend reached over and tried to roll the windows up. The switch for my little window on my side sometimes sticks. So as I was driving down the road we started to smell something awful. We popped the hood and saw nothing. Then I looked inside and saw smoke coming from the crack in the window and through the rear speaker. I saw that the switch was stuck in the up position. Well I imediatley pushed it down and ofcorse nothing happened. I assume the motor has been burnt up. When I lower the top all 3 other windows go down but not the one i fear has burnt up. Are all the windows run to a single fuse? Or could it just be that window's fuse has burnt up? (please, please, please)
I talked to a auto place, and they said it was $500 dollers just for a new rear motor assembley (apparentley you cant get JUST the motor). It would cost me $400 for a used one installed!!! This is ubsurd. My friend said he would pay half (and apparentley up to a max 50) to help since he did break it accidentley.
What should I do guys? Can I rig some manuel crap up to where i can just push it up and then lodge somethen in between the seal to make it stay up? I mean, I REALLY dont want to pay 400+ to get this fixed! Any worth while sugestions appriated!

Dude I think the motor is burnt up if it was smoking. But no big deal. I believe all the fuses are the same. I had my pass window quit but the drivers side switch was the problem not the motor. The switches go through the drivers side switch before going to the pass side. I found out the hard way. By replacing the window motor and regulator only to find out that it wasn't the motor. However, if you saw smoke it could be the motor burnt up or maybe the swicth. Tear it apart and see. I managed to get the window motor and regulator in mine in a couple of hours. Test the switches first (all of them, they are routed through the drivers switch) then if they aren't bad the motors gone. I found a window motor and regulator used for about 40 bucks. Now as for finding one for the rear window I don't know, because I don't have a spyder. I do know that the drivers side switch is about 80 bucks you can get it from Mitsu or Dodge and the pass side switch is about 40 bucks. Look for a used motor and regulator, but install it yourself and you can save serious money. They tried to charge me 250 for 80 dollars worth of work. I had the shop check it and they told me it was the window motor and I paid them 40 bucks to do that. Thats the only reason I put the motor in and they were wrong because they didn't test the drivers side switch. Seriously though check into doing it yourself. You can save some bucks. Just be sure to test the switches. You can do it with a multimeter.

I forgot to mention. If you want it I have a wiring schematic for the power windows. Let me know if you would like to see it!

A burnt fuse shouldn't smoke.

Just get a new motor at the junkyard.

thanks abunch guys, i will try and get to it more this weekend. Its been a real pain so far. Its behind the top assembley:thumbdown Do you guys think if i unplug the cabel going to it that i could manually move the window up and down. it would be ghetto but instead of 400 bucks,
