annadya2 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Hi, My drivers windowon my 1998 subaru outback wont go up. Is it the switch or ? all the other windows work. A green light is showing next to the switch for this window, whats this mean? Can someone help me and let me know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks, annadya2 Edited December 9, 2009 by annadya2 wanted to note vehicle type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well hopefully the window is in the "up" position! My guess is that it is the individual switch that controls that window. Prolly, the electrical contacts are dirty. Suggest you pull the door panel, then use a multimeter to verify that you have 12 v going to the motor when switch is activated. Also, you could move door driver door window wiring to another window switch. If another switch works okay, then it is definitely the driver's door window switch that is giving your trouble. Before tackling this job, I have gone to a wrecking yard, practiced removing the door panel, and bought a driver's door window switch in case I needed one. They don't cost much. Then, simply swapped out switches if needed. If it is cold where you live, going to a wrecking yard may not be too practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc526 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Glad you got it fixed. The green light shows you where the switches are at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
