I have power to the switches, but the master switch will not operate the window on my '93 Legacy wagon. The door switch worked to lower the window, but not raise it. Have nor found any loose grounds or broken wires.

Subaru-Legacy -

My front passenger door electric window won't go up. On my Subaru Legacy 2004 model. I can lower the window but not close it. From the driver seat can I without any problems lower and close the windows. Is this a well known problem among the Subaru legacy owners?

Could it be the switch that need replacement?

I have a similar problem with my drivers side front window. It goes down no problem, but gets stuck and wont go up. It was finiky for a few weeks, if I pulled real hard and kinda twisted it it would go up, but now that won't even work!

Any one know of a good anti-rain dance?

any input is greatly appreciated.

Guys, I may have an answer: The wire harness has a tight 180 degree loop in it where the drivers door closes on the "A" pillar, and the harness flexes enough to eventually break the wires. I found 6 broken wires in mine, so I cut and spliced them all. You'll need to take out the drivers seat to get room to work. Remove the drivers side kick panel and unbolt the fuse box. Remove the drivers door panel and disconnect the wiring harness so you can feed it towards the inside of the car. Once inside, you can cut, splice, solder and heatshrink until you are happy. If possible, try to route the harness so it will not have the 180 degree loop in it (where it broke). Someone even suggested that I use a piece of flat trailer wiring harness for the repair section. Good luck!
