A little knowledge is a bad thing -screwed up need help

Ok guys. Drivers side window went down, now it won't go up. Did a search found out you could put two wires on 12 volt drill battery and, depending on how you put the wires +-, the window goes up and down by bypassing the window controls.
Took the skins off found what looked to be the right clip (and inserted wire) attached to battery sparks and strong acrid smell of burning electricity near passenger side. oh oh
Checked the battery and notice it's 14Volt lithium not 12 volt. Now motor on passenger side does not seem to work.
Question: did I burn a motor (probably) or just a fuse???
Car is in service station now to get window up because it's going to rain..
Should have taken it there from the first place damnit
