KLR_kid Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 First time posting and have no idea if anyone is out there, here it goes. I've had my 2003 Forester 2.5X for about 3 years. About a year ago the driver side front window would stop working for a while, and then start working for a while. It was always a surprise when it started working. It did this for about 4 months and now it is totally dead. I don;t remember it slowing down just working totally or not working at all! I am thinking it is the motor but I don't know if intermittent function is indicative of anything. Any insight would be much appreciated! Cheers and happy driving!

Jay762 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wotcha and welcome - As it did not gradually fail but worked intermittently this sounds more electrical to me - pull the door panel, check the switch connections and cables going through the door plus connections to the motor. A 12v supply directly to the motor connections will rule the motor out and a multi meter or 12v light on a wire to earth on one side of the switch with a 12v live to the other side will tell you if the switch is faulty. The same 'flying lead' (with light) connected between the 12v supply and a bare metal connection to the car (door frame etc) will tell you if you have a 12v supply in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
