I am troubleshooting a circuit and it is calling for a jumper wire, is that when you connect 2 terminals together? If that is the case what is the best way to get or make a jumper wire?

A piece of solid core flexible wire. You can also use small gauge speaker wire if you don't have that. Make sure you tin the tips. Basically, you are using the wire to jump from point "a" to "b", effectively bypassing traces and components that were between "a" and "b". Or you use them for test circuits on breadboards. Be careful because there are instances where you can short things out if you're careless.
For your enjoyment, i've supplied a Wiki link that will help you further. Just scroll down to Jump wire.

Hi focalcivic,
What kind of circuit are you troubleshooting?
I just bought this one: AutoZone.com | Shopping | Accessories | Product Detail - Motormite Clip Alligator Uninsulated Test Leads
Wally world has it also, cheaper at $1.58
What was the deal Focal? Did you get the windows working again?

isn't a wire a wire? connect a piece of metal between the two points, no?
I am prepared to be very wrong, but this is what I had assumed to this point...
