Power Windows Stopped Working? '03 WRX

Carl AMG · 11-03-2005, 07:18 PM

Very Strange...I put down my driver window and partially lowered the passenger front. Trying to put the passenger front back up nothing happens. I then notice neither rear window will operate. It doesn't matter if I use the driver's switches or the individual door switch. The driver's window works fine.

I don't think it would be a fuse if the driver window still works but I can't even find the windows listed under the fuse listing in the owners manual. Anyone know the fuse location for the power windows?

Any other ideas of the problem?

Did you accidentally press the lockout button next to the drivers window switches?

^ I was gonna say that, or there's a short in that button.

I'll look at the lockout switch but I don't think the lock out switch would prevent the driver from operating the passenger windows from his door.

z · 11-04-2005, 10:28 AM

I think it does.

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping you are correct. I certainly could have hit the switch by accident. When I get home from work I'll check it out.

Yeah...that would be the logical conclusion. However, when dealing with SOA, you need to throw that right out the window. I couldn't believe it when this happened to me...What is the freakin point?

I just ran out to my car and checked it for ya.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you get home

Thanks guys...of course you were right. I would have felt much stupider if I took it to the dealer to fix.

Seriously, I don't understand the lock out not allowing the driver to control the passenger windows. I have two other 4 drs. with a lock out feature and both allow the driver to control all windows even when in lock mode. Learn something new everyday.

No prob. I felt pretty dumb when I was getting my struts replaced at the dealer and told them that my trunk release was busted. There's a little lock out switch on the latch mechanism)
I knew this previously and then realized that's what it was after I dropped the car off.

BTW - You can't really blame Subie for this one. They're Nissan switches. you can only blame subie for buying them from them.

Where's this lockout button for the windows? Never even knew there was one

Mulder · 11-05-2005, 04:19 PM

It's the button right next to the drivers window switches. Has a pic of a crossed-out window on it.
