Moon roof and window switches are buzzers
Ok... My SVX sat for a week in all of the rain last week. I took it to work today and the roof wouldn't open and the windows wouldn't roll down... So I thought "FUSE". ... "I'll check it when I go home tonight." Got in the car for the trip home and thought... "gee, let's try the windows again." the driver's side switch "buzzed" but the window didn't move!!! the passenger windows did nothing. So then I tried the moonroof... It buzzed too but did not move...
So.. #1 does anyone know where the fuses are for the roof and the windows? I looked both under the dash by the drivers side door and the fusebox under the hood and saw nothing labled window or roof... #2 Has anyone had this happen before. I did a lot of searches on moonroof, windows, fuses, fuse... etc, but saw nothing. thanks in advance...

Check all your fuses and see if anyone is burned...

Maybe it is the motor that you hear buzzing.

Can't help you much myself, but maybe these threads will...
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...indows+buzzing http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...t=windows+buzz In the first one odepaj describes a problem which sounds nearly identical to yours, perhaps PM him to see if he ever resolved the issue.

Well..... THERE's your problem....
Indeed as with the sited thread... upon lifting up the front of the driver's side seat... (I'd have taken the whole GDam thing out if I could have gotten to that last MFING bolt that is on the upper rear side of the seat!!!)
I took a chance and unscrewed the relay and pulled it out(dropping the screw down the hole in the process... ) one of the wires had corroded through and will need to be replaced... (I hope this is the only problem.. everything else looks ok)I'm going to cool off a little and think about how to rewire this connector (short term or long term fix)... I'll take a couple of pictures and show

End of Thread post
SubaSteevo! Thanks for your help. The end of a long day for an old fat man trying to get to bolts in a small car... but it worked!
http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...itzi/36824.JPG http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...itzi/36822.JPG http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...itzi/36823.JPG These are High res so you can zoom in and see how bad the connector was. Odepaj, look under you seat... I'm guessing if your driver's side window switch and your moonroof motor buzzes when you press them... it's this relay under your seat... Good luck! And thanks again for the help

So I pull into Advance Auto this morning to order a new front axle, which I had discovered was bad the same day I changed my spark plugs, which I had discovered were bad the same day I put in my Ecutune Ecu, and what do you think happened?
While trying to roll down my window to take a picture of a neat old Toyota the window stops working. Push the switch and just hear a buzzing. So right there in the parking lot, while waiting for Advance to open, I took my door panel off, played with the switch, and nothing. Still no windows. Drove home in 20 degrees, with the window down, did a search and sure enough found this. Went back out and yep, no sunroof either. So now after I replace my axle I guess I need to tear my seat out. Sigh. Would Holy Water on my dashboard help?

At least I WAS able to get my window back up with my trusty 12v power supply.(motorcycle battery in garage for the winter)

My windows have stopped again, second time in 5 years or so. I'm thinking some kind of vapor guard needs to be created. Anyone have any ideas? I think most of the water and **** gets in through the bracket for the forward right most seat bolt. --- edit: The result. There is also a layer of plastic wrapping the wires under the tape. I removed a corroded area and do not wish to do it again.
