Lights always on & a window never works
Does anyone have any idea why my SVX's 'side' lights won't switch off and what I can do to fix the problem..I'm having to remove the fuse at present!
Also, left side window won't budge. How do I check whether it's a fuse, the switch, or the motor? Otherwise I'm off to a dealer, via the Bank! |

As for the light, there is a parking light swith. It might be pressed.
As for the windows, I recommand opening the door and unplugping the motor and powering up the motor using +/- 12V. +12v will bring it up, -12v will roll it down. If that is the case, your motor works and you need a new switch. The main switch that normally that goes south is the main combo switch by the driver. Clean it up see if that helps. Check my locker/website for a how to. Lwin

As for the window, are you getting ANY noise from it, at all? Or, is it just totally inop? Give us a few more details.

thanks guys...(I don't feel insulted, the 'knee' thing sounds worth checking out)
btw, there is no sound of any kind when I attempt to power the window. |

I also had a bad master window switch. When the master cluster goes bad, neither the master, or the passenger side switch will cause the window the work.

I'v had many people with Loyals and Legacys with marker lites that won't shut off, when I turn the switch off for them they usually say, I had no idea that was there. Usually accurs after cleaning the interior.

bad cluster
i bought my svx with a bad cluster switch. the driver window would not go down, but all the rest would. got a new switch from liberty subaru, the driver would work, but the passenger would not. pissed me off. when the driver side did not work, no sounds came from the motor when pressed. when the passenger side did not work, a very faint click could be heard when you put your head near the passenger door. got another 2 switches. one from another car, and a new one from liberty subaru that was brand new. then it worked. doubt your motor went bad. if not switch, then regulator. other than that, nothing much left to change.
