ok for anyone browsing this site beware noone responds very often so not really beneficial being a member. Fyi ive worked outthe car goes into a saving mode, unsure exactly what it is but appears my door was taken off without disconnecting the battery and caused the issue. By removing battery connectors and puttingback on and thrn using a car diagnosis device clear the issues and then the engine works again and the sound is back to normal, so great.

Update for anyone who comes accross this issue. If your car like mine doesnt have the self release mechanism the only way is to play with the locks on the doors as the electrics went a bit ott and all doors including boot changed the locking order so by checking all the doors and changing the locks to match should revert the rear door, takes a bit of time and is tedious but works.

i have a 3ltr Outback and today had the drivers door repaired due to a big dent. They washed it as well afterwards. Car went in singing lovely notes and came out feeling sluggish and bsically sounded like its on its last legs, plus the malfunction indicator light lamps flashing. What do you think the cause is, could it be they didnt disconnect the battery correctly before removing the door for the repair or they didnt connect the battery correctly. Tbh im baffled as i would have thought it was the spark plugs but seeing as they didnt go near them cant be so what do you think has caused this?

Ok manual shows how to open but has anyone had this occur and any idea what caused it

Ok ive just replaced my front drivers wing, i disconnected the battery before i did the work and all back together again, but when i closed my rear door all was fine until today, it wont open so any ideas what has caused this and how to unlock it. Ive locked and unlocked it a few times and no change

I only have the battery in my car but ok will try that. Thanks.

How do you take out a window in the lowered position on a door detached from the car, with no possible way of adding to another car to do this?
