sometimes my driver's side window controls decide to stop working. the passenger side works fine as does the window lock on the driver's side. this led me to believe it was the actual switches that dont work. (left and right window controls on driver's panel) i pulled them off and they seem fine. a poor connection on the motor itself perhaps?

 

a friend had a similar problem but it was related to both windows and a relay.(bmw) since one side works im not so sure its a relay problem unless subaru wires them separately.

broken wire in the doors hinge. thats what mine was anyway

good call. ill check there first

the broken wire is a good starting point. how did you check the switch, they do fail from time to time?

May want to check this out, located under the passenger seat:

thanks for the picture
