Maybe the window switch is bad or the window motor is tired.

Wrong wrong wrong, reset it by holding it down for several seconds, pull it up and hold it up for the same amount of time it took to get it up then back down hold then it will be back to normal.

I just bought a sweet 2004 2.5XS Foz... and the passanger window (US) was not working. Replaced the window motor... and the window now goes DOWN but won't come back up. Thought it was the window power switch, and replaced it with one of the rear window switches (which worked perfectly), and kept having the same problem: window powers down but does not come back up (and the motor is NEW). Decided to test both polarities in the motor, and yes, motor does works upwards and downwards (directly connected a battery to it in both directions). Finally, saw that the window master switch at the driver's won't raise and won't lower! So yeah... I am now thinking I have a bad master switch. But why is my passanger side receiving current in just one polarity (lower)??? Does a bad master switch really affect it this way???

A shorted passenger side switch can effect the master switch look at your wiring diagrams instead of guessing, and also the wiring likes to break in the door jams in between door to the kick panels

I'm going to guess that a new master is more likely than a broken in-door wire, as I've replaced many of former and yet to see the latter. Seems to be a dead thread, at any rate.

Is there any way to get the rear windows to go down all the way on a 2006 Subaru Forester X? They have that (annoying) child safety feature that only let's the rear windows go down about 2/3 of the way. Any ideas how to disable that "feature" so both rear windows go down all the way?
