Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Nice Legacy! With the Power Windows` Switch, I Kindly Suggest you to Try with Another Switch from a Junk Yard... Usually Rust on internal Switch`s Parts lead `em to Fail and Repaired Switches Won`t Last too Much... Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 the car had of been hit in such a way that caused the top mount were radiator bolts to bend back. since that's were the hood latch mounts it causes prevention of the hood latching. i bend it forward and when hood comes down just pushes the latch back preventing it from latching with the hood. i managed to make it stay and the hood did latch. now how to make a permanent way to prevent that bar from bending back again:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Boognish Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 No, neither of those other motors will work. Did you check for voltage at the motor with a test light or a multimeter when you operate the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 No, neither of those other motors will work. Did you check for voltage at the motor with a test light or a multimeter when you operate the switch? dunno how to do that. would a 95 Legacy Motor work in a 90 Legacy ?

Gloyale Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 dunno how to do that. would a 95 Legacy Motor work in a 90 Legacy ? Yes, but if you don't even know how to use a flipping test light what are you even trying for? Try reading some basic testing and repair manuals before you start wasting our time asking irrelevant questions. If you don't know wether or not voltage is getting to the motor, how can you diagnos it as bad? Heck just run 2 wires to the motor and put 12v on it. Try it both ways, wires one way is up, the other is down. if the motor doesn't respond to direct voltage, THEN it can be deemed bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 you never learned how to use a test light? come on dude, its common sense.. you clip the alligator clip to a ground and stab a positive wire with the end of the probe.... if its getting power the handle of the probe lights up.. I find it hard to believe that someone who is capable of changing a fender, doesnt know how to use a test light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get them installed, tell us how much higher it is! I'd like to know if the ground clearance exceeds that of my Outback (which has a listed ground clearance of 7.3 inches).

SubaruJawn Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 ok so i finally got the money for the Outback Struts:). Correct me if I'm wrong. Outback Struts with my Legacy's Stock springs to get maximum Strut lift. also thought about L.S.D now what models had these ? Turbo did dint they ? i know were 1 92-94 Legacy Turbo wagon sits. I'm thinking its a 3.90 Gear Ratio ? while my non Turbo is 4.111 is the turbo 3.90? or a 4.11 ? Thanks for any useful Info -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
