96legacyoutback Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Hey so my girls pass. front window stopped rolling up halfway. It or any of the other windows wont move either except the driver regardless of if I use the doors switch or the one on the drivers door. There's no clicking or whine from the motors so I'm assuming its a relay or a fuse somewhere ant idea where I should look first Edited June 19, 2018 by 96legacyoutback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It sounds like the motor could just be worn out. Even without any audible noise, the motors can get weak and just sort of give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96legacyoutback Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 It sounds like the motor could just be worn out. Even without any audible noise, the motors can get weak and just sort of give up Hey I reread my post and it was supposed to say none of the windows move but the driver thats my bad. That's why I was thinking it was a fuse or something it seems like pretty high odds that 3 motors went out at once. I know the other two worked within the week.

Brighton96 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Oh, if none of them are doing anything then I'd definitely say a relay/fuse or the switches. And I only say switches because they're known to be bad in subarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Unlikely: All three motors wen't out Likely: The master switch panel has a short Even more likely: The window switch for that door is bad. Subaru has the weirdest system I have ever seen. Each motor/switch is run in series to the the master driver's switch, meaning if you were to unplug a switch (or have one go bad), even the driver's switch will not operate that window. The whole system works in series, similar to old Christmas lights. When one light burns out, everything downstream goes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_needs_a_turbo Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Or it could be the window lock switch... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because from the driver side i only can operate the driver and rear left window, but individually the front right and rear right can operate by it´s own switch.

Setnev Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 That's because your switch in those doors is bad. If something became physically disconnected, it wouldn't work. There is a difference between defective and disconnected. Just as a test, pop out one of your door switch modules. They're easy enough to pop out without taking the door panel off. Unplug it and use your driver's side master switch to try to operate the window. I bet it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
