I have a 2000 legacy sedan. The drivers window goes down but won't come up. Sometimes if you play with the switch you can get it up. So thinking it was the switch I got a used master switch from a on line parts supplier, put it in and same problem. Ran 12 v power to the motor and it works great in both directions. Did I get a bad replacement switch or is there a relay that's bad. What am I missing. Help.

Similar thing happened to my 95. I hope this will apply to your car too. I pulled apart the master switch on the drivers door and found that the contacts needed to be bent to make proper contact. Windows work perfectly now.

 

Hope that helps!

I had this same issue on my 2000 Legacy Outback. I pulled the switch out and popped off the bottom cover. Under that you will see the bottom of the circuit board. There are 4 or 6 contacts for each switch, and in the case of mine, the solder for the drivers switch didn't look so great. I re-soldered all the joints and haven't had a problem since.

 

The same basic fix as the dash clock on the older cars.

 

Hope that helps.

I'll try the solder fix first as I tried pulling the switch itself apart and that's not possible without destroying the switch. Thanks for the replies.
