Advice diagnosing DS rear window lack of operation.


Recommended Posts

2001 Forester.

It is in the closed position. I have the Haynes Manual, and I have not found the troubleshooting procedure. I have typical wiring diagrams in that book, but do not know how to find or access the components. 

Is there a factory manual that is not expensive for a non-professional mechanic but covers things better than the Haynes?

JOH,

 

Where to start: Is the driver's door window lock out switch on?

                         Does the driver's door switch power the window down or up?

                         Broken wire in the rubber gaiter at the door hinge of the driver's door/rear door? Pull gaiter back from body and check wires.

                         Pull the rear window switch and test it.

                         Pull the inner door panel rear door and check connector to window motor/corroded/broken?

                         Apply 12 volt directly to motor contacts/motor work or not?

 

Then if still no solution, go to "Subaru Outback.org" and on their home page , in the top sticky's section, there's a link to free downloads of the factory service manuals for all years and models. Find yours and download entire manual in 15 minutes, FREE. Good Luck!
