slamkad Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I just purchased a used 2005 Legacy wagon. I love it, but just realized the rear driver side window will not roll down. I am just curious if there is something I should do first before I start diagnosing. I was wondering is this a common problem. Any advise would be great. Thanks in advance.

subarupartsdude Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Welcome to the forums...........have you tried the other windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamkad Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah all of the windows work great,except the rear drivers window doesn't work at all. Neither of the two switches for that window will make it roll down. The lights on the switches light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That is not a common problem I have heard of or experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTLW Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 My front driver side window got a new switch installed when i bought the car at the dealer (Baretta Subaru in MA) and three days after having the car it wont go down. Curious if everybodys rear windows go down on an angle? They look like they slid down and are broken but they straighten out and go back up just fine. Bringing the car back to the dealer on Monday to get what they are guessing to be a new window motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamkad Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 they are supposed to angle like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28dreams Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Car windows that fail are almost always the regulator or switch. I'd put a multimeter on the switch to make sure it's working properly. If that's fine, just swap out the reg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Time to pull the door panel. check power and ground at the motor and at the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamkad Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I checked the motor with power and ground, that told me the motor was bad. I got a motor off of car-part.com and installed it. Works great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nam-Vet Suby Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi - been doing a lot of tests to figure out why my '09 Legacy right rear window doesn't operate, since I started a thread in Mar & Apr. I think it may be a bad motor. I'm not going go thru all the things I've already done. Yesterday I had the rear door panel off, pulled down the the moisture seal & tested the window motor with 2 leads from my battery (pos & neg) & the motor did not move or make a sound. Just one thing, I keep hearing that it could be a bad regulator? Wear is this regular & are there one for each door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
